Typical med progression?
Currently she's taking 8
Sinemet
100mg daily, plus 3 or 4 Rytary 145mg. She also takes sleeping medication, and botox for curled toes. She's reading articles on DBS. Any advice? She has mostly pain with a little tremor.

Mucuna puriens 1000mg
because of side effects of
sinemet
ER 25/100 which I take at night. I also take Asian herbs prescribed by my acupuncturist which contains some levodopa three times a day. I took one 1000 MP capsule and my blood pressure and pulse shot up and I became very shaky.

gut problems and medication effectiveness
I always have struggled with medication efficiency only ever getting around one hour relief from a 125mg
Sinemet
even less as i have progressed. therefore I'm taking seven
Sinemet
through the day and one slow release at night alongside usually one or two more instant release to get me through the night

Dizziness
Is the
Sinemet
likely to help that or should he see his gp to get something to treat it? Are others on anything for dizziness?

Help Needed! Selegiline?
The horrible shaking starts when
Sinemet
started working, and ends after
Sinemet
wears off. So it’s caused by
Sinemet
/zandopa. What is going on? I am also taking it during the day, why it doesn’t cause this kind of body tremor during the day?

Selegiline and Zandopa
I also take Zandopa and
sinemet
. Yesterday 1.5 hours after taking zandopa, I started having severe headache, and my blood pressure raised to 225. I also vomited 4 times. It calmed down after an hour and blood pressure came back normal.

Testosterone and PD
My MDS addressed this problem by steadily increasing my
Sinemet
prescription. This didn't help; in fact, I think it made the problem worse as
Sinemet
makes me feel a bit ill.

Surprise, surprise. "When should you start medication therapy for Parkinson's disease?" as per THE PARKINSON'S FOUNDATION.
., not all pwp should be prescribed
Sinemet
at the time of diagnosis. To me, however, it is in conflict with the popular position, 'there is no reason to delay
Sinemet
therapy.'

Rytary
As far as the
sinemet
IR it worked well except the Dr. did not want me to take over six pills a day and I was taking 8. Any suggestions would be appreciated..

Stutter Step
He is on
Sinemet
. I didn't even know what it was called until it was mentioned in Michael J. Fox's book No Time Like the Future. When I googled stutter step, I found that it is done in basketball, but in PWP, it is not a controlled movement. What have you found to be helpful for this?

Supplement recommendations
He is taking
Sinemet
25/100 4 x a day. His apathy is by far the most bothersome non motor symptom... well at least to the family it is..... He will not exercise or do anything other than lay on the sofa all day long. He is definitely slow and stiff, but is able to golf and walk when he wants to.

Amantadine for tremor?
I'm pretty freaked out by the list of possible side effects after my horrible experience with
Sinemet
(nonstop nausea/no appetite/weight loss, constant headaches, extreme fatigue, eye pain/blurry vision, massive hair loss).

Any advice? Good/bad experiences with the Neupro patch for PD?
My new neurologist wants to take me off the
Sinemet
ER gradually and start me on Neupro patch to reach 8mg. I have no cognitive or balance issues, mainly tremors and rigidity. My skin is easily irritated and I have a weak stomach. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Side effects of levodopa. And you thought that your imagination was running wild.

Nausea
Does anyone have to pass completely on C/L
Sinemet
due to nausea? What’s the next best thing? How does one manage? My little friend is down to 90 # and shakes horribly… she lives alone, needs advocacy (and yes, a doctor appointment is on the horizon)…

Do I have RLS?
My neurologist says this is a side effect of the
Sinemet
meds but I am not convinced My condition is worse in the evening and it can be very difficult to relax in a chair. Once I get into bed I feel fine. I have no tremors apart from the feet so I wonder do I have RLS and/ or Parkinson ?

The Value Of Carbidopa Levodopa Demonstrated in Two Signatures
I want to give partial credit to my coronet duo red light hat, but the vast majority of the credit goes to the 3 small generic
sinemet
pills I swallow each day.
