Sinemet 25-100 combinations - too much or not enough, can't tell
Hello folks. Sorry for jumping in but I'm have a problem with my Sinemet dosing.
My current med list:
Azilect 1 mg tab. Take 1 tab in every morning at wake-up.
Amantadine, 100 mg tablet. Take 1/2 tab at 5:30 AM and 1/2 tab at 11:30 AM.
Sinemet 25-100 tab. Take 1 tab at 5:30 AM (wake-up) and 1 tab at 7:30 AM, 9:30 AM, 11:30 AM, 1:30 PM, 3:30 PM, 5:30 PM, 7:30 PM, 8:30PM and 9:30PM (bed time).
Sinemet ER 50-200 tablet (during the night). Take one tab at 9:00PM (bed time) and one tab at 1:30 AM.
Now here's the problem. I'm on a really tight dosage regimen during the day with the Sinemet 25-100. Taking a pill every two hours is a real challenge. I'm constantly missing timing of dosage and I end up on a 30-40 minute "off" or bouncing off the ceiling with over medicating. I don't know if I'm taking too much or not enough. The 25-100s are beginning to not offer relief of symptoms and if I take 1.5 tabs per 2 hours, I start to get overmedicated and then dyskinesia starts to cause problems. Any suggestions? Is 2 sinemet tabs every 4 hours the same as 1 tab every 2 hours. BTW, I did try Rytary and didn't work for me (side effects). Thank you.
