Tremors worse. Thoughts?
In December started
Sinemet
25/100 X1 day , then increased 2X day. Then instructed to increase 3X day. I had a lot of difficulties sleeping so decreased down to 2X day. It has had positive effects on my symptoms except the tremors.

Reduction of Sinemet
Anyone have success in reducing their Parkinson medication, or at least reducing the amount of medication taken each dose? Thanks

Same diseases or not?
Then I was dx'd with PD and am still taking Rytary, a form of
sinemet
. My only symptom was olfactory hallucinations. This was smelling things that aren't real. I found that the false odors developed a few days before the tysabri treatment and stopped after the infusions.

IS EXTREME BODY HEAT PART OF HAVING CBD?
It seems that he's always hot and I'm wondering if it's another side effect of cbd, or maybe it's from the
sinemet
?

Practical Suggestions for PWP
If you need to spend a night in the hospital have a go bag ready with several doses of your meds like
sinemet
, that are taken more often than am noon pm. most hospitals have a nursing rotation that does not coincide with med times as often as pwp need them. hospitals also typicallly have you surrender

How can you tell if you are taking too much sinemet vs too little. Did experience any of these new symptoms til I switched antidepressant.
Initially I had some relief when I took a dose of
Sinemet
. Neurologist suggested increasing dose (low) to 4x daily. After 3 weeks symptoms seem worse. Haven’t actually seen neurologist he made these suggestions after talking to my psychiatrist. All communication with them has been by phone.

What happens if you alternate Kinson (ie sinemet) with madopar?
We have some Kinson tablets which can be cut up . The madopar 62.5 are too strong. What would happen if hubby took madopar capsule less frequently with a tiny piece of Kinson in between? We also have NOW MP and mucuna bean powder but I don’t know how much of those is equivalent to half a madopar 62.5

Body pain increases for few minutes every 3.5 hours
This increased pain sensation lasts for 30 minutes. or we may say at every wear off of generic
sinemet
that is every 3.5 to 4 hours. Mostly it is in the back. Relief after another person rubs the back with their open palms. While I am standing. Any comments are appreciated.

What do I do now?
Once diagnosed I was offered a choice of
sinemet
or pramipexole. At the time I was stunned and confused at what to do. I hadn’t processed anything yet. I chose pramipexole cause I got the impression it was lesser of the two evils so to speak. Now that I have joined this site I feel better informed.

Dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrome
I take
sinemet
three times a day and after my noon dose I get relief from these symptoms for up to four hours. The same with my 5 o’clock dose. I’m often watching the clock as the minutes inch by until I can take that next dose.

Underprescribing Sinemet for PD?
But the prescribing regime by our local NHS (UK) nurse practitioner specialising in PD says one
Sinemet
25/100 to be taken 3x daily. I'm told that that is what every PD patient gets and there is no option to increase the dose.

MSA medication
Are there no other medications to try or even an increase of the
Sinemet
? I just worry that if he is taken off the medication we will just be forgotten about. As it is he’s never met either the consultant or the Parkinson’s nurse.
