How does everyone deal with this dreaded side-effect?

Ever since my Sinemet has been increased from 6-1/2 times per day to 6 regular and one CR at night, I've had the nausea that accompanies the medication.

I never had this before so I know this is in direct relation to the increase in medication. This isn't enough to make me barf, but just enough to make me feel like I'm coming down with a stomach bug, or worse riding in the car with a really bad driver.

I have found that chewing gum seems to help a little bit, but that's kind of hard to do when going to bed. So going to bed means lying absolutely still for at least an hour until the yucky feeling passes.

There's the trade-off. Since increasing the Sinemet with the CR, I have better mobility through out the day. I've never moved better than this for the longest time I can remember - perhaps at least 5 years or more. I guess you can't have everything for nothing in this world.
