Anyone experience a wearing off cough/shortness of breath?
He currently takes 1.5 of a 25/100
sinemet
every three hours and a half pill at the two hour mark and a controlled release at night. He is off to the Dr this week and will ask to trial entacapone to see if it smooths things out and he can space the dose timing out more and reduce the dose.

Get off Sinemet?
I also have read that
Sinemet
can cause worsening symptoms in some people. Here is my question as my search here and elsewhere has not yielded any results. We are considering trying to wean him off slowly and see how he does with that.

Pramipexole
I do not have RLS
Sinemet
has never seemed to help much, I don't feel the on/off so my geriatrician has just suggested I try adding the dopamine agonist Pramipexole. Starting tiny does .25mg I have read a lot about people having trouble with it, does anyone on here find it has helped?

Looking forward for your support
Started with
Sinemet
for 10 days but could not tolerate it and, since then, I am on 6 tablets of Sifrol 0.18 per day (2/2/2). This dose of sifrol improved my general symptoms by 90% but with balance and walking the improvement was approx 70% . I learned o live with it.

Off Dyskinesia-anyone else have it? What's your fix?
Approximate 11 years into taking
sinemet
my pharmacy started only carrying generic versions. Which I'd when I started experiencing dyskinesia when the Carbidopa/levadopa started to wear off.

Has anybody found a way to reduce dyskinesia without Amantadine?
For many years,
sinemet
worked fine for me, but now I'm one of those people who gets dyskinesia from it. I've tried different combinations of amantadine and GoCovri (extended release). but it doesn't have much effect. So I take as little
Sinemet
as I can get away with. First dose at noon.

Parkinson's wife
I have a feeling that the problem with Madopar and
Sinemet
is the decarboxylase inhibitor which blocks vit B6. This vitamin is vital to so may other functions in the body. Anyone else found the same ? Any advice appreciated.

Levodopa vs Other Parkinson medicines against Fatigue
My questions are: Although
Sinemet
is reduced significantlyand also no more Constant Release tablets in the new neuro's medication list, still the other medicine doses have been made high.

Bladder problems..... the saga continues......
His
Sinemet
may be causing the problem (even though it started long before he was put on it). Constipation and sleep apnoea (if he has sleep apnoea) could be the cause.

Request for Information
I also take
Sinemet
and ropinirole. Thinking about the fish oil, I bought some years ago but it made no difference so I guess it probably wasn’t strong enough. I’d be grateful for any information.

Horizant tapering
Last year, my tapering off
Sinemet
was medically mis-managed and I was very sick with DAWS, so I’m especially wary. Thank you.

Food and "off" times
I know about keeping proteins away from
sinemet
as they compete for the same receptors in the gut. I can time my dose of
sinemet
(a generic, 25/100, 3 x day) an hour before eating a meal, feeling just fine. Then like clockwork, about a half an hour later my symptoms return.

Practical suggestions for PWP.....Hedge against medication scarcity.
At times i have requested an extra dose of for example,
Sinemet
. Such as, I tell the Dr. I need to increase my dose by one. I do this until , at the very least, I have enough extras to titrate off safely.
