Difference between Sinemet and Madopar (Co-beneldopa)
A couple of days ago someone on this site asked me what the difference was between these two after I had posted that
Sinemet
made me confused whereas Madopar was almost miraculous in its effect.

Sinemet

sinemet
, (for Parknson's) in particular. The prednisolone is taken at about 9 am, and the
sinemet

Protein rich food has become unenjoyable since PD
They say to time your meals for between doses of
Sinemet
or the meal will "block absorption" of the med. I've found a way around that, just drink beer with or after the meal if the muscles begin cog-wheeling.

C/L = ZZZZ?
I've been on
Sinemet
for about a month. All I can do is sleep! I'm not getting much done. Does this pass? Incidentally, when I picked up my refill today I found out my copay had zoomed from $1.40 to $38.45. If I had to pay cash, the price would be $1,245!!

Neck pain - any recommendations to supplement the medication?
He has started low dose of
Sinemet
, Carbidopa and levodopa and he is on waiting list for Physio. Just wondering if anyone has found anything that can supplement these to relieve the pain i.e. massage, acupuncture, or anything else? TIA

Sharing
I started
Sinemet
25/100 3x a day in July 2014. In October 2014, I was increased to
Sinemet
50/200 3x a day. I continued this treatment until Feb 2015. At this time I eliminated the afternoon dose to see what would happen. No apparent change.

Nose bleeds
I bleed very little but I am not sure if it is related to the disease or its medications I am currently taking
Sinemet
, Amantadine and siliguine (probably spelled it wrong ) thank you!

DIPHENHYDRAMINE, therapeutic?
I was so concerned that I had stopped the 1/2 tabs of dipenhydramine that I normally take along with a 1/2 tab of
sinemet
and a 250 mg gaba-plex capsule, because I knew that prolonged use of diphenhydramine sometimes reduces flow through the vessels.

Parkinson's and Exercise question
I do not take
sinemet
at this time as my doctor says it is too early to do this and I need to hold off. A 2nd question for the group if you can answer. Can exercise each day start to diminish symptoms overall or is that just wishfull thinking? Thank you in advance, Todd

URIDINE: Why LD/CD Users Should Consider It
Then, in 1976, 1 year after US Food and Drug Administration approved the original L-dopa/carbidopa combination drug [
Sinemet
®], the Parkinson's disease death rate started increasing. This trend has continued to the present, for 38 years and counting.”

“emergency room” PT 2 - amantadine, benadryl and tremor dominant prognosis
After three years no drugs, I recently experienced trial run (about 1 month) let’s say of first
sinemet
and then, after stopping
sinemet
three weeks earlier, for the last three weeks I was on ropinirole. I told my neurologist that neither medicine did improve my condition.

Feeling my way
A month later I tried it with
Sinemet
, same reaction. So the past couple of years I've just been on Selegeline. Now I've been advised to start on just 1/2 tab 25/100 twice a day, yesterday was first day and after my pill last night I felt very lightheaded.

Irregular heart beat
He takes
Sinemet
and entacapone. Shortly after taking his medication (every 3hours) he feels very weak . When I check his BP it is often very low and shows "irregular heart beat" I feel it is the medication rather than "off" time. I don't often contribute to the PD community.

Have you considered DBS? It is recommended for people with midstage PD who for whom meds are no longer working well!
Also you might not get accepted into a program - if
Sinemet
stops working entirely you won't be able to find a program that will take you! There are surgeons around that can do DBS on you when you are asleep (I found one) so don't be misled. Ask a Movement Disorder Specialist today! !
