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.

No meds
Having seen the recent posts about the book on nutrition ( written by someone with MS) and as well, reading all the supplements, etc that various of you take, I want to ask if it is dangerous NOT to replace dopamine...will not taking
sinemet
or the Mucuna equivalent do more harm to the neurotransmitter

Robin Williams
In the meantime, his medication was switched from Mirapex to
Sinemet
in an effort to reduce symptoms. We were assured Robin would be feeling better soon, and that his PD was early and mild. We felt hopeful again.

Sometimes you never know how bad you've been feeling until you start feeling better.
The Azilect and
Sinemet
has turned my life around. I didn't know how much I hurt until it stopped hurting. I didn't know how stiff I was until I loosened up. I didn't know how good it feels to not be depressed and actually feel happy again.

Desperate in Maine
Does
sinemet
treat other conditions as well? Do my symptoms sound familiar to anyone?

Comtan increasing off times
On another note related to off times: Has anyone tried taking Tums (antacid) to help with delayed stomach empyting and therefore getting delayed or reduced on time with
sinemet
? I take
sinemet
5 times a day ER and IR 25/100 for a total of 10 per day.

bradykinesia?
Now that I'm taking
Sinemet
it seems to have improved greatly. Sometimes I think my mind (not my brain) is fooling me into believing what I want to believe.

New PSP Diagnosis
Takes
Sinemet
CR, and uses a Neupro patch for stiffness -especially in his neck. Advice, anyone? He doesn't want to read anything or hear anything about what could be coming. Says he will find out when "it" gets here. Should I ask the dr for an MRI? Will that give a definite diagnosis?

Advanced Parkinsons treatment
Very soon my med. was changed to
Sinemet
and for 5 years things were fine. But I am now in my 10th year of taking
Sinemet
and its efficacy is unpredictable, short lived and leading to secondary dystonia in my right foot.

What helps reduce Dyskinesia .
We are giving her
sinemet
, amantadine, Mirapex etc. Over the years we have reduced the amount of
sinemet
(I think she was overdrugged in the beginning - and we couldn't tell as her tolerance to meds was good ) .

Half Sinemet CR
Now neurologist feels I could benefit from adding Half
Sinemet
CR at night to help with minor tremor (whole of right hand side), poor sleep pattern, and morning stiffness. I am reluctant to increase meds at this stage. Has anyone experience of taking half
Sinemet
CR at night for these symptoms?

Meds changed without notice.
My husband has been on
sinemet
125mg 5× daily and
sinemet
cr at bed time. This Works well for him. The new pharmacy assistant has been wanting to put his parkinsons meds in with his other blister packs . These are administered wirh meals and bed time.

Hallucinations and PD or Hallucinations and Meds
I know that
sinemet
and probably other meds for PD can cause hallucinations. As well, I believe the disease itself can manifest with hallucinations. If anyone has had experience with any of this I really need to hear what you are willing to tell. thank you

Xadago
It extends the life of
sinemet
and totally knocks out any dyskinesias. It is a miracle and I hope all who are suffering with PD get some. I got it from gold pharma and yes they will ship to USA.

Carbidopa-levodopa (sinemet) and Azilect side effects.
I have been taking carbidopa levodopa for almost 2 years and i doing great. The side effects at first were bad. Uncontrolled movements, no sleep, muscle spasms, every day and night drove me crazy. But i did not take less i just tough it out. They got less and less as time went on and i was able to increase
