Intro
Neurologist wants him to start
Sinemet
CR immediately but we also began about a month ago the Bredesen Protocol. We have noticed some lessening of symptoms already, so we're hesitant to start
Sinemet
CR so soon.

Artane and hair loss?
I’m still trying to figure out what’s going on, but I asked my MDS whether
Sinemet
or. Artane (the two PD meds I take) could be behind it. I only take a half a pill once a day, but he said Artane could be the problem.

I ceased taking
Sinemet
on November 15th, previously consuming 2 pills every six hours. Approximately six weeks before stopping, I had switched to the branded
Sinemet
due to issues with the generic version.

Anyone out there trying the Dr. Tass Vibratory therapy with a board or gloves?
I have noticed some positive effects but don’t know where to start cutting my med (
Sinemet
). It seems I get more “Time on”, and even mental clarity, but it has been difficult to quantify. Basically, I don’t know where one should end and the other should start.

mucuna or sinemet?
why should it be different to take levodopa from mucuna or take it from
sinemet
? Isn't it the same chemical formula? L-DOPA/Formula : C9H11NO4

Safinamide
To address the wearing off since Dec 2021 I increased my
Sinemet
plus to one and a half yellow pills (8am, 12pm, 5pm) and 1 yellow at 10.30. Most recently we have replaced the 10.30pm 1 yellow pill
Sinemet
plus with Madopar (dispersible) and 'slow release half
sinemet
' (10.30pm).

Zoloft and parkinson's
My hand tremors are not stopping after starting 6 weeks ago C/L 25/100 (generic
Sinemet
) 1 pill, three times a day? My family Doc said that maybe the Zoloft is the reason for the continuity of the tremors. Diagnosed with PD by DatScan after seeing MDS a few months ago.

Thinning hair when taking Sinemet
My wife has PSP and has been taking Levadopa brand name
Sinemet
for nearly a year but currently on a low dosage. For many months her hair has been getting thinner and thinner. I have just been advised that this is a reasonably common side effect of taking the drugs.

DBS and Sinemet
After DBS,
Sinemet
made my PD symptoms worse...especially balance (It's like I am constantly falling forward and my legs are trying to keep up). I told my neurologist about it and she thought is odd that
Sinemet
would do that. I feel better without the
Sinemet
.

sinemet duration
In the evening when I’m not taking any
sinemet
I do very well, no tremor or dyskinesia and I can move around with relative ease. I do have some gait freezing but nothing I can’t handle.

Transitioning off pramipexole
I transitioned from pramipexole to
Sinemet
(25mg carbidopa-100 mg levodopa). I used the transition method mentioned above over an 8 week period and had no problem with my RLS at all.

PD Meds Not Working
My MDS put me on
Sinemet
and my symptoms got worse. She put me on Neupro and my symptoms got worse. I say worse as in severe freezing, off balance, weakness in my legs. As of today I need to use a walker and it is slow going. This all escalated within a two-month period. Any ideas?

C/L (Sinemet) & Pramipexole (Mirapex)
Are they meant to be taken together or can they be taken at separate times?

Parkinsons? Or not?
So - he has instructed slow withdrawal from the
sinemet
(not least because of the dangers of the fluctuating BP). But - even reducing the
sinemet
from 4 times daily to 3 times daily has brought the lightheadedness back with a huge bang. It's all very confusing and worrying.

Allergic Reaction to Sinemet?
I do think that I'm going to have to get off
Sinemet
because of my allergic reaction to it. I also called the office of Dr.

Pramipexole to Sinemet to ?
I've previously posted that I had been using pramipexole (P) for over 30 years, had only learned about augmentation recently and was in the process of transitioning off P to
Sinemet
(S)(recommended by my PCP).

Transitioning off pramapezole
Instead he wanted me to use
Sinemet
(carbidopa-levodopa, 25-100 mg) and suggested an 8-week schedule for gradually replacing the pramipeole with
Sinemet
. That went very smoothly, and I finished the routine just 3 days ago.

Two part question about really bad "OFF" time.
We are taking 150 mg of
sinemet
every three hours so spacing meals is very difficult. Some "OFFS" are brief and mild, and some are so bad she can't even stand up.
