Sharing DBS Journey
Up until almost two years ago, as far as he shared with me anyway, he was mostly doing ok on his prescription meds: 2.5 tablets of 100/25
Sinemet
and the neupro patch. It wasn't always smooth, testing out different meds along the way.

Sinemet dose intervals
Is anybody here taking their
Sinemet
less than four hours between doses? I’m finding that lately taking it every three and a half hours reduces my off time and was just wondering how other PWPs manage their doses and how it works for them. Thanks. Blessings to all.

Dopamine agonists or levodopa?
I am currently on 1/2 spoon of Zandopa and 1/4
Sinemet
, 4 times a day. The medication only lasts for about 2 hours, so each day has been a hell for me. I am currently deciding on whether I should go with dopamine agonists first, or I should add more zandopa/ Macuna Prurient first?

Equivalence between C/L meds and Mucuna Pruriens.
Does anyone have any knowledge or information on the enhancing effect of carbidopa in
Sinemet
-type medications compared to levodopa found in Mucuna? I believe I've read somewhere 4 or 5 times, is that approximately right?

Sinemet / carbidopa levodopa
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recommended that the daily dose of
Sinemet
should not exceed 800 mg per day, and as of 2013, this recommendation has not been revised. In 2018 the labeling of
Sinemet
recommends not exceeding a levodopa total daily dose of 2,000 mg per day.

ET VS PD
I was on
Sinemet
for two years and now I'm on Rytary. I had the DST scan 3 months ago. It shows an imbalance between the left and right sides of the substantia nigra, weaker on the RIGHT side. If this is PD and I've had it for 4 years, shouldn't some other signs have kicked in by now?

Food and sinemet timings
Having read in the “Parkinsons book” recommended by Roy Prosner we have been avoiding food two hours before taking
sinemet
and then eating an hour after. It is getting g a little difficult to plan meals around this schedule.

Sinemet and shakiness
Curious if anyone has ever experienced tremoring and more shakiness after you taken
Sinemet
? I take 25/100 and before it starts to work I’m shaking and tremoring quite a bit before it takes effect. Any feedback would be great! Thanks.

Exercising and walking when your muscles are stiff
I noticed the medicine I take (4 x
Sinemet
CR 25/100) seems to ware off a lot faster when I'm active. Maybe I just need get my neurologist to increase the dosage some or switched to immediate release version of
Sinemet
. Any thoughts or suggestions? ~ Shawn

Coronet Duo (Red Light) Success?
Approximately three months ago, I asked if
Sinemet
confers residual benefits. Some of you said yes and one of you provided a link to a study suggesting that there is a long term benefit.

I am not convinced that I have PD. Could anyone tell me if they have had any of these experiences?
Do you take Rytary or
Sinemet
for the symptoms of being stiff but your tremors re fine? Does anyone experience Dystonia like attacks where your limbs and body twist into painful positions? and bends your neck backwards making it hard to breath, swallow, or speak?

Is this progression normal
On
Sinemet
3 hourly, Rasagiline 1mg and Madopar 62.5 daily + Neupro patch 4mg. Nothing new seems to have any effect after a couple of days. Additionally he’s been on HDT 1g daily for a year or so and I’ve just bought a Wellred coronet to see if that can help.
