Does sinemet start working after 9 days 3tid. Worked well for three years then caused side effects and very little relief.
Should I just stop
sinemet
again I had been experiencing improved mood and energy on new antidepressant but side effects have taken that away. I am wait listed at a movement disorder clinic and a neurologist/ psych but wait time may be lengthy.

Sinemet Dose
My moms
sinemet
dose was too high (recently increased to 1.5 pills every 4 hours) so we took her back to her normal dose of 1 pill every 4 hours. She was on the higher dose for a month. How long after reducing a dose do things go back to where they were? Anyone have experience with this?

Some words of encouragement
Could be the fact that my
Sinemet
dose last year was too low (I am now on 3x12.5/50 a day). It could also be related to daily exercise, obsessive nutrition, vitamin B1 or photobiomodulation.

Parkinson’s and Protein
“I tell my patients if there is a question about protein interfering with the absorption of levodopa, take your dose of
Sinemet
, eat a hamburger, and see if the
Sinemet
works. In some patients with protein sensitivity, I tell them to try to take their protein at night.” — Dr. Abraham Lieberman

Side effects of levodopa
Nausea is much less common with controlled release
Sinemet
(
Sinemet
CR), which is absorbed more slowly than the regular
Sinemet
. In addition to a queasy stomach, you may feel drowsy or experience low blood pressure or hallucinations.

Levodopa Overmedication – Common, Unrecognized, Devastating
I know dozens of patients having this response to Rytary, especially if they are alternating Rytary and
Sinemet
.... Many of these patients are borderline suicidal,...

Sinemet what is normal dose
Been on
Sinemet
since 2017. Started on 25-100 three times a day and added a half dose (12.5-50) around 2019. I told my MDS that off periods, especially before 2nd pill late morning are getting worse. I’m exhausted, clumsy and overall feeling awful.

ADHD and PD
Sinemet
doesn’t affect the ADHD symptoms for me. I’ve been prescribed Ritalin. Does anyone else here have ADHD?

Getting the Most Out of Medications
Bob has been taking
Sinemet
ever since he was diagnosed. He always takes his meds first thing in the morning, then eats his breakfast. He has not been doing very well for some time…. Anyway, the doctor told him NOT to take the
Sinemet
with a protein….

Has anyone taken Paxlovid and PD Meds?
I may have been exposed to COVID and can’t find anything specific about interactions between Paxlovid and Carbidopa/levodopa (
sinemet
). I’m not sure I will take it even if I do come down with COVID, but I’m trying to be proactive.

Sinemet and speech?
Hi everyone, maybe one of y’all will have an answer this question.Before I take my
sinemet
I can talk relatively well and people can understand me fairly well but less than half an hour after I take my
sinemet
I have great difficulty, no matter how much or little I take.

Rytary in Canada?
I went to see my neurologist today to discuss the possibility of switching from
sinemet
to Rytary, as well as from Amentadine to Gocovri. Sadly I’ve been told that neither Rytary nor Gocovri are available in Canada, since they have not been approved by Health Canada.

Mucuna
I’m also on
sinemet
3 to 4 times a day. It seems to just be giving me more shakes. I also saw that another company, Banyan, has this product in both tablets and extract liquid. Has anyone tried any of these? Any recommendations?

Avoid medication - and suffer!
Then, I faded out the Pramipexole, reducing by 0.26mg every 10 days until down to NIL and added
Sinemet
ER 25/100 once a day and
Sinemet
25/250 tds. I was due a neuro appointment this week, but he has vanished until November.
