Orthostatic hypotension
I am transitioning from
Sinemet
to mucuna . My dosage was 7 1/2 pills a day. 1 extended at night and 1 amantadine in the morning and 1 at night I have increased my water intake and taking essential oils to increase my blood pressure.

Sleep or exercise?
But when I wake at 5am, the RLS makes sleep impossible until well after my 6am
Sinemet
, and I am really sleep-deprived. Do you prefer to try to go back to sleep (often unsuccessful) for immediate relief or get up and exercise for long-term benefits?

Protein and levodopa absorption

My experience with DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) Surgery
Then for about 5 years or so I left my condition untreated because I didn’t like the side effects and from what I understood,
Sinemet
would be less effective long term. Fast forward to recent years. My tremor has gotten much worse.
Sinemet
is my main medication and for a while it was working ok.

Sinemet
-Plus in 1 litre of water with 1 gram of vitamin C, take 100 ml every 90 minutes (Kulisevsky 2013). Always with the guidance of a neurologist.

So I finished the book...
The author had to stop during the same race to take his
Sinemet
, thereby missing a sub-4 hour finish time. By publication date he had completed 5 marathons, finishing times ranged from 4 hours to 5.5 hours.

Pain and sinemet
Has anyone noticed an increase of pain after taking
sinemet
? I read that one persons pain was helpful in their pain but I seem to have the opposite, my overall body pain that many of us PWPs have is exasperated by the
sinemet
. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks

Finding the balance between Dyskinesia and off time
I also wanted to go natural , so it was suggested that a combo of mucana and
sinemet
(she can only take 1/4 of 25/100
sinemet
) might alleviate it . Sometimes it seems ok, sometimes it makes her more dyskinesic.

Sinemet replies
Thank you all for your quick response to my post regarding
Sinemet
and I will follow up on your suggestions. Unfortunately I have a doctor who doesn’t understand how awful rls is - I asked for iron medication and was told that too much iron causes rls.

Is there a limit on Dopaboost intake?
Mucuna is much more effective than his
Sinemet
, which barely works anymore. He is was recently on 1 100/25
Sinemet
with 18 grams of mucuna powder. You can imagine that taking this every 2 hours and 45 minutes is a lot on the body, plus creates a loss of appetite for real food.

Does Medication Help Handwriting?
Have any of you found
Sinemet
or any other medication beneficial for handwriting? Unless or until other symptoms materialize, I will not take medication, but I'm curious to know if it will help my handwriting. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

How is PD connected to Restless Leg Syndrome?
I was on
Sinemet
for over a year. Stopped it and switched to amantadine 100mg and ropinirole 0.5mg every evening. Along with melatonin and a statin. I stopped the amantadine but now find I really need the ropinirole. I never had PD signs like bradykinesia.
