Grief or PD?
I have increased my
Sinemet
to 2 pills x 4 or 5 times per day. I am still very mobile. I run 3 miles and bike 15 miles. The biggest complaint is fatigue. It usually happens in the afternoon and I have to crawl into bed.

Checking in
The doctor told us that for people his age the only 2 medications recommended are
Sinemet
(which my dad could never tolerate because of the chest pain) and Rytary. He told my dad to stop taking Gocovri and increase Rytary in hopes of controlling tremors a little better.

Does anyone know what the HIGH DOSE in high dose thiamine means?
I have been following the medications course, not the vitamin/naturaremedy one for five years Suddenly, for no real reason I wondered if HDT might do even better than
Sinemet
for my slightly-worsening forward/backward balance problems.

Sinemet vs. Rytary
How does
Sinemet
perform vs. Rotary. Which do you prefer and why. My neurologist recommended the latter, but I'm not so sure that's the best choice. Would love your opinions.

Just diagnosed
His follow up letter to G.P. suggests taking
Sinemet
62.5mg three times a day for 2 weeks and then 125mg three times a day. I am only just starting to research the treatments available and I definitely want to see another neurologist just to talk about medication etc.

Wondering if dad has RLS instead of PD (or both?). Any RLS indicators here?
Now another 2 months later on just
Sinemet
, still same. When Mirapex is in the picture, even at 1-2x/day - pain decreases, swelling decreases, better movements. So in hindsight, Mirapex is actually what's working for dad instead.

Anyone like to see symptoms disappear?
I have been reporting for 2-3 years that I am doing the 2 inch shuffle with forward/backward balance preventing ‘me from walking normally at all when the
Sinemet
isn’t active. A few weeks ago I bought some cheap sandals on Temu for five bucks.

What's in ER C/L vs. IR C/L?
It reminds me when I was prescribed Comtan early on in combo with
sinemet
that caused similar symptoms. Is there something in the ER that's not in the IR? thanks

"Off periods"
After 4 years on
Sinemet
or Rytary I'd occasionally stop the treatment. I decided to stop Rytary two months ago. And no problems happened.. More importantly, no return of the double vision. A positive effect was a return of libido.

Sinemet and nausea.
I am forced to break my
Sinemet
100+25 pill into two parts and to space out the intake for a few hours because a whole one causes me severe nausea. Does anyone out there have the same problem? And how did you solve it?

5 years of Sinemet and Dyskinesia
Ìm concerned about
sinemet
side effects. I use diet and physical activity to help symptoms. I take1 siñemet in a day if I'm about to undertake an arduous activity otherwise none.

Sigh... 😔🥱😒 Hallucinations side effects from meds on top of neck & back pain affecting sleep schedule
Textbook wise,
Sinemet
should be helping him and he SHOULD feel better on it alone, but he seems to do a lot worse on
Sinemet
alone (more pain, more stiffness, hallucinations continue) than when Mirapex was in the picture. So we switched it up.

Long Covid
For this I take some old leftover
sinemet
which helps.-- perhaps twice a week. I also seem to have pretty severe Long Covid. I have most of the signs and symptoms of Long Covid, except depression , which I have never had, but do have a ridiculous amount of anxiety. I am nearly 87.

B1 Therapy question
I am on a low dosage of
sinemet
and it has helped to regulate but not eliminate those symptoms.. I was very intrigued by the testimonials in the book, Parkinson's and the B1 Therapy. On a recent visit with my neurologist, i shared about this adjunct vitamin therapy..
