PEG tube dementia/PSP - end of life
My dad has PSP and is in an advanced stage - he had a PEG tube inserted when he aspirated 4 months ago - the neuro stopped his carpidopa-levodopa (
sinemet
) since he had horrible leg spams - it led to a very bad state where he could not talk, eat, drink, sit up, communicate or even swallow his own saliva

Fast-Talking, Fast-Walking Contradiction
Sinemet
will typically produce a positive effect on Parkinson's while registering no impact on Essential Tremor.
Sinemet
had no impact on JPepper's tremors. Despite having admitted in a rare moment of naked honesty to 'Hikoi', "I do not have a resting tremour, but I do have an essential tremour.

I take Mirapex,
Sinemet

The more I take, the less I make ...
Sometimes I think that this phrase accurately describes the taking of L-dopa (in my case
Sinemet
). Do other sometimes feel it is like this? John.

I have nothing further for you!!
In the past 2 years I've quickly titrated up to 2 tabs of
Sinemet
every 3 hours which was ordered 4 months ago. My wearing off periods are getting more frequent and lasting less .

The effect CBD has on my Parkinson's symptoms
But in general when I can get five to six hours of sleep the same time of day, and am not titrating my
Sinemet
, Amantadine, or Deep Brain Stimulator settings, and am able to consume a reliable quantity and quality of CBD, I am able to ambulate.

azilect
I am 78 and am taking
sinemet
and azilect. I have been reading that Azilect can cause problems. Has anyone experienced problems? I would appreciate your help.

Rytery
I quit taking it and went back to the
Sinemet
which I had been taking. Residual effect is that I started dragging my left foot and now walking is difficult. Neuro then prescribed
Sinemet
extended release for overnight. Same effect as Rytery...completely frozen. So quit that as well.

In no man's land
Also, the PD meds backfired when I tried them (
Sinemet
, Artane, I forget what all). Same thing when I tried neurontin and lyrica. I feel completely hopeless. If I didn't have to walk the dog I'm afraid I wouldn't get out of bed. That won't do.

Rasagiline or Selegiline?
I was diagnosed with PD eight months ago and was put on
sinemet
(12.5/50) three tablets 3 times daily. I still have some tremor and other problems. My worst are painful muscles when walking.

Has anyone used a rivastigmine patch?
I am on steroids for Temporal Arteritis and also on
sinemet
for PD and Thyroxine? Have you had any side-effects from the patch?

sinemet cr
I'd like to hear from those who have tried
sinemet
cr. I just started taking it this week along with regular
sinemet
and amantadine and it seems to be helping a great deal.

IS THERE A NUMBER FOR ANYTHING
Since my honey got rid of the UTI and his med
Sinemet
were raised from 25/100 to 25/250 and changed as when to take then. He takes them 3 times a day whole and then a half for the 4th dose. Turns out to be 4 times a day, 4 hours apart.
