Has anyone got low blood pressure?
I am on
sinemet
tablets. I am also on Prednisolone for GCA. Yes, I am trying to increase my fluid intake and have a bag of crisps on most days. Any other ideas? I am 85.

MSA or Parkinson's? I'm not sure
Medications such as
Sinemet
do not seem to alleviate my symptoms. These are difficulty with balance and walking, and urinary incontinence. I find writing and typing much harder than three years ago.

Sinemet or Not???
He has wanted me on
sinemet
for quite some time but I have prolonged due to worry of long term side effects. Biggest affliction is the stiffness and rigidity. Is it worth taking and are others helped by it?

Another failure?
Sinemet
was a dud, so I'm trying the timed release version. For the first two weeks I was to take a pill at 9:30 a.m. Yesterday I stepped up per instructions to one at 9:30 a.m. and another at 2 p.m. This morning when I woke up I thought I had gone completely bonkers.

Finding Joy in Parkinson's
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.

3 years on ... I fear my positivity ...
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".

Sinemet reactions
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.

AZILECT
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.

Taper off Sinement prior to DaTsacan?
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.

Sinemet and Lexapro
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.

Sinemet effectiveness
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.

Pallidotomy
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.

Speech problems mainly
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.
