Thanksgiving Day Tremors!
(Yes, I do take my
sinemet
before venturing out in public), Anyway, as I head to the checkout, another shopper taps me on the shoulder and says to me, "honey, you are so tiny, if you gained some weight, you wouldn't be shaking like a leaf!!"

Medication wearing off early
I'm on
Sinemet
100/25 2-3 tablets every 3 hours. My neurologist informed my husband and I in March there wasn't anything else she could do for me???!

My tremor exacerbated by taking a B-complex
Recently I found that I needed more and more
Sinemet
and still could not effectively manage tremor. After noting anything and everything that had occurred or I had changed about my routine that may have caused the exacerbation, I started reversing course.

Newly diagnosed with young onset PD
I am incredibly thankful for actually receiving a diagnosis and for the use of
sinemet
since I was put on crutches for over a year and nobody could explain why I couldn't walk until the
sinemet
.

Medication not working
Has anyone ever tried to ween themselves off of
sinemet
. My mom is 80 years old and has had Parkinson's for six years. She has a very mild form of Parkinson's and I think the Parkinson's medicine is making her worse and other areas. I'd like to see her try something natural instead.

Depression is gone.
One thing that has happened to me since I started
Sinemet
is that my depression has left. Most all the time I'm actually happy. I'm very grateful for this. It's such a wonderful feeling after being so depressed for so very long.

Sinemet
Is it pronounced 'sign-met' or 'sin-met' and which syllable is the emphasis on the sine or the met? Can't find the phonetics when I google it.

Hallucinations/delusions?
My hubby ger is still taking a very low dose of
sinemet
even though he has PSP, and a low dose anti depressant, sertraline, plus BP meds. In the last few months he has asked me twice if I was in his bed, he is on his own in a hospital bed, and of course I wasn't.

MEDICATION NOT WORKING EFFICIENTLY
I take Stalevo, Requip and half
Sinemet
for Parkinsons and other meds for different problems. I am beginning to wonder if these meds are working against each other. Is this possible? Last weekend I had a series of steroid injections for facet joint pain and my meds are all over the place.

European Parkinsons Therapy Centre ,Boario Terme Italy
Being on max dose of Mirapexin and Azelect the Nurologist recommended I start
Sinemet
. Thanks to my wife's research we found the centre and decided that before I went down that road ,would like to see if I could improve my symptoms without levodopa and I am so glad I did.

Correct medication cocktail
I take three Stalevos a day, mirapex(an-agonist) three times a day,and at bedtime one
Sinemet
25-100 and one Lexapro -20 mg right before bed. I sleep like a log and tremors and dyskinesias are much better. I think trial and error ,at least for me, was worth it.

Sinemet
Sinemet
made my stiffness and dystonia (that thing that makes you feel like you're going to push your foot out of the bottom of your shoe) worse. Shall this, too, pass? Or am I taking too much of a good thing?

Rasagline (azilect) and setreline (Zoloft)
I truly want to keep taking the Azilect because along with the
sinemet
my PD symptoms are totally suppressed and Azilect is known to slow down PD, I also know that I'm miserable without my Zoloft.

Placebo effect or medication effect?
Stopping the meds would not answer the question because I can tell when it is getting close to time for the
Sinemet
because I start experiencing some of the tensness and aches and tremors again. So I know for sure if I stop the
Sinemet
I'll be back to having the full range of symptoms again.
