Seeking a 2nd opinion Movement Disorder
I am 62 years old and I was diagnosed in 2017, waited a year before taking meds, started with
Sinemet
. Increased dose to 1.5 tablets 3x per day. Then went to 4x per day. This past June off time was more than on. Increased to 2 tablets 4x per day, plus a dose of CR 50/200 before bed.

Could I be addicted to Sinemet?
Am I the only one who thinks they are addicted to
Sinemet
? 13 years since diagnosis, am I still clutching at straws?

Rytary vs sinemet
I switched from 25/100
sinemet
four-five times to Rytary 36.25/145 three times a day. I am experiencing increased dyskinesia on Rytary. I was expecting it to decrease. Anyone else have this issue?

Levodopa storage
Apparently Madopar should not be stored above 26 deg c, (79f),
Sinemet
- some sources say keep below 25c. As the needle now edges 30 c in the UK, and anytime on holiday in the Mediterranean or Caribbean, not easy without AC. Does it matter? Can it be put in the fridge? Anyone know?

Tapering down Levodopa any advice ?
I’m trying to wean off
Sinemet
(total dose per day 75/300) slowly and completely after taking it for 4 months (since diagnosis). I’ve had more intense non- motor symptoms (e.g. depression exhaustion) trying to come off than before I started the meds.

Young onset Parkinson’s patient
Neurologist wants me to start low dose
sinemet
but I’m very anxious about side effects and doubt it will help with non-motor symptoms. Can anyone offer me hope? Might sinimet positively effect non-motor symptoms? I’ve started HDT B1 Anyone had any success with the coronet red light therapy?

Zandopa fast-taper safer than Sinemet?
Zandopa taper-easier than
sinemet
? A recent post discussed tapering
sinemet
and it’s risks. Anyone have any insight on tapering Zandopa as the primary treatment? Is it lower risk of withdrawal/NMS with quick taper? Thanks

Titrating down on Sinemet experience
I was originally prescribed 25/100 3 tablets per day (
sinemet
) 2 years ago. RH tremor was my only major symptom at that time. After 2 months of nausea, my body got used to the drug and my tremor disappeared.

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.

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

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
?

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

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.
