Other reasons for arm tremor?
If
Sinemet
or other dopamine agonists have no effect on tremor does that suggest the root problem is not a dopamine deficiency?

CARBIDOPA FOR MUCANA ??
++Irony is that she took a lot of simenet earlier and then over the years when we learnt about the disease and the terrible dyskinesia she was getting from it - we switched to lesser meds - now she is taking 1/4 tablet of 25/100
sinemet
- 9 times a day . So that is 2.14 of 25/100
sinemet
.

Mild vertigo made worse
Should I think about re-starting
Sinemet
? It never did anything to help the tremor.

How long before levodopa starts working when first introduced?
I note that the C/L equivalent
Sinemet
capsules/tablets seem to begin with twice the amount of levodopa content (100/25) than the Madopar. I’ve been very interested in the posts on thiamine, and will be keen to try it, but it’s probably best to establish the most appropriate dose of Madopar first!

Looking for people who have phased out Carbidopa/Levodopa in favor of an all-mucuna program
I was diagnosed in 2006, and have progressed through Requip,
Sinemet
, and Rytary, recently exploring mucuna in place of Rytary.

Recent deterioration in food interference with levodopa
In my case I have observed that the
Sinemet
Plus is lasting less time (up to 3 hours in the morning but otherwise, 2 hours if I had food 1 hour after taking L-dopa, even if it is a veg soup with 2 slices of bread. Furthermore, it seems I get insensitive to L-dopa for hours once I eat.

Could I ask your opinion on my symptoms please?
I try to do exercises daily and my medication is 187.5 mg
Sinemet
4 x per day. Also, in the last 6 months my speech has become strongly affected and my voice is quieter and higher pitched than it used to be and I more often than not have a lot of trouble getting my words out.

Swallowing and Throat issues
After 14 years with PD I started to suffer
Sinemet
induced cervical dystonia (retrocollis) it happens just when meds wear off and it last about 1/2 hr to 1 hour. It seems to be related to the throat issues. It doesn’t happen when I’m off meds (night/bedtime/early morning).

Continuous / Extended Release
I used to take
Sinemet
CR 50/250 overnight (as well as various daytime medications. Worked well for me.
Sinemet
CR 50/250 is no longer manufactured. I was offered a generic product, same carbidopa levodopa mix, but extended release rather than continuous release.

Enterococcus faecalis and Sinemet
Are there supplements one can take to reduce E Faecalis naturally? Other than Camomille, which I already drink, and garlic, which I already take in my food, I didn’t find much. According to this link, posted by aspergerian13 a few days ago, https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/04/07/2003785117 ,

Magnesium chloride - dosing
I started using magnesium chloride gel two weeks ago, every night, along with my meds; it works great and sleep has improved to 5-6 hours. But I need up to 8 hours. How soon can you reapply the gel? Is it risky to “overdose on magnesium”?

Weaning off Pramipexole
My only other medication is
sinemet
. What could I take in the place of pramipexole that would also help me with getting more sleep at night?

How much sinemet
Last week he upped me to 4
Sinemet
out of 250. Now I'm noticing that
Sinemet
lasts less time, which causes the damn dystonia to start. It also continues to decrease strength, balance and endurance. Tomorrow I have to call him and I know what he's going to say: increase
Sinemet
