Experiences with

Sinemet

I'm usually wearing off 1/2 -1 hr before Sinemet is due.. Just seen new neurologist and working on it but I'm almost up to my max in meds. I try not to watch the clock and meditate but would like to know what other people do,

Anyway, with the diagnosis and Sinemet, Louis is not jealous of other men. Now, Louis has had 2 very bad hallucinations, one of which scared me so much. He was put on Nuplazid and those have stopped. We are still battling PD on a daily basis - like all of you.

This would be shaken or stirred until the Sinemet powder had dissolved." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7786540 Redoxon: https://www.amazon.com/s/?

Lots of exercise - non-contact boxing, Nordic walking with poles, Irish set dancing, gym with a trainer - the introduction of Sinemet in November 2015, taken 3 times daily and the completion of the 5 volume "Does it hurt, Granny? and other stories".

So I'm take sinemet at night with my melatonin and magnesium. Also take supplements since cardopa robs you of vit b.. Seems like sinemet is making things worse and my tremors when coming down off of sinemet. I'm thinking it's levadopa induced Distonia. Any oppions or experiences.

Was diagnosed in July and take sinemet twice daily.I have a tremor in right arm which is barely noticeable now.However I do drag my foot sometimes on same side.Recently my Clark's shoe on that foot has become too big!

I take 5 x 25/100 Sinemet Plus per day plus Pramipexole 0.18 mg 3 tablets 3 x per day. My symptoms can be very up and down for a few week's then settle down again. When I am told to take more sinemet I seem to feel worse and have to stop. I read somewhere that Azilect can help with walking.

Has anyone heard of tapering off Sinemet (Carbidopa / Levodopa) prior to taking a DaTscan? I can’t find anything in the documentation that says this is necessary however I have conflicting information from 2 Neurologists one saying I need too the other that says it is not necessary.

So instead of that very new procedure, he underwent a pallidotomy, rarely done now, but not so new - dates back to pre-Sinemet, pre-DBS days.

Another wrinkle in the sinemet saga. Three months after my diagnosis and my starting on the Sinemet I started taking Lexapro, 10 milligrams a day. My PD presents with lots of anxiety and depression and pain and movement problems but not tremor.

But reading my journal it took a long time for the Sinemet to really make a big difference. And it continued to get better until I was hiking again and biking 10 miles at a go, Etc. I'm glad I have this journal. It's fascinating to read.

I have been self medicating with Sinemet ..then madopar etc since i was ten and i never take my meds at the same time each day ( apart from my first dose in the morning ) as my meds never seem to last for a definitive amount of time.

I have now been on 'L' Dopa therapy either Madopar (29 years and counting ) Sinemet (10 years from the age of 9 to 19 ) is there an alternative on the market and will i be able to come off the drugs at all?

Husband has not been diagnosed yet (waiting on Neurologist appointment) but been given Sinemet 3 times daily. His speech is the main problem which occurred when he was on Venaflaxine anti depressant and has continued when he was taken off cold turkey.

Having no success with, alleviate symptoms (mainly tremor), with sinemet, amantadine , ropinirole I am moving to Neupro patch, 4mg, on Monday. My cost will be $350. I hope the cost is a reflection of its effective treatment for reducing my tremor.

Our current GP is away until the New Year but the one at present is treating him for Parkinsons/ Parkinsonism and put him on Sinemet (12.5mg / 50mg) without a proper diagnosis. We are awaiting an appointment at the hospital for a Neurologist . We are hoping that this is all meds related.

No appointment is forthcoming with the Neurologist at the hospital to clarify the situation and it seems that he is being prescribed Sinemet for a condition that hopefully he may not even have. Has anyone else been in this situation please and what harm can this drug do if he shouldn't need it ?

I started taking a very low dose of azilect, .5 milligram, in addition to the Sinemet, three times a day 25/100, and after a few days I had pain in my back where I get dystonia and in my arms and general discomfort. Apparently muscle pain and joint pain can be side effects of azilect.

If you live in an area of changeable weather, does it effect how you feel or how the symptoms of PD increase or decrease, if on Sinemet do you feel cold even when the weather is not, when coming up for another dose? If effected how do you deal with what is happening?

I began on Sinemet aged 9.
