5-6 years ago, she started parkinson treatment as 3 per day 25/100 sinemet. Half year ago, her motion slows down, drooling a lot. Sinemet was increased to 3 per day 25/250. it really helped at first. 2 months later, dyskinesia occurred in tongue/jaw, drooling returned. Sinemet dosage then was decreased to 2 per day 25/250 (9am, 2pm), Requip 0.125 (9pm). Dyskinesia improved. 1.5 month ago, teeth grinding started day and night.
I am a 51 yr. old female. I went to a neurologist because I had been having a loss of coordination on the left for approx. 6 months and a slight tremor for approx. 3 months. The tremor is not the type that occurs at rest. I happens when I reach for something or put weight on my leg. I have also noticed that I tense up my toes unintentually. My great toe starts trembling when I do this. The tremor gets worse when I am excited or nervous.
The doctor suspects Parkinson's.
I hated that because it worked so well, but side effects were intolerable. This as of April 28th. Was started on Sinemet. Was told this does not work as well as Requip, but was less likely to have same side effects. Said he could add darvocet if necesary.Also take ativan 1mg 3 x daily since the brain surgery, and 1-2 at night for help with sleep. Every other sleep aid made above symptoms worse. Did tapered Requip withdrawal while adding the sinemet.
My father has had RLS for years and taking Sinemet to control it. Lately he has been acting differently almost like he has no control over his arms, mouth and legs. Can taking Sinemet for a long period of time cause Parkinson or similar disorders?

I started taking Sinemet about 3 months ago and my blood sugar levels, insulin resistance are all over the map. In the morning I fight to get my BSs down and now, in the afternoon, I often have BS crashes into severe hypo territory. I've been to the emergency twice these past two weeks - a week ago Friday with hyper, ketones and this last Friday with a severe hypo with 5 units still active!!!

I will speak about this next consultations with my neurologist, next month. Does anyone of you experienced such a situation? What might be a possible explanation for this event? I’m not taking any medication from beginning of January (I suspended Sinemet and Amantadine, as recommended by my neurologist due no visible effects on my condition).
t sleep much anymore at night and I work full time. My MRI shows no changes (minimal) and thoracic spine has no lesions. I've tried so many medications including sativex. I'm so tired and done with it all. I've also tried amitripyline, carbonmezipine, sinemet, quinine, nabilone and nothing. Please help....
I have been on courses of prendisone for a repetitive chest infection for the past 12 months and I am still using a steroid inhaler. I am also on sinemet 500 for my Parkinsons condition. What could be the cause of the sudden increase in heart size. I am 72 years young.
I'd be concerned about the Sinemet because that eventually does cause tardive dyskinesia. I'm assuming what you have is a temporary movement disorder such as akathesia. There are a fair amount of side effect pills that won't worsen it. Inderal and Atenolol are particular good for tremors. Atenolol is the most tolerable of the two as I and other people have found.
They are suppose to strip my membranes how does that work? Does it hurt.
