I'm curious as to the high BP many PD meds caution about low BP but I'm not familiar with an cautions pertaining to high BP. By the way I am 41 y/o and have had PD for 11 yrs. I have no other med. problems. What is sinemet plus? Best of luck.

i find taking stalevo in two pills ( generic sinemet and entacapone) can cost only half brand name STALEVO. mail order sinemet about $.30 per pill and entacapone approx $l each. the entacapone might be taken one to one or with every other generic sinemet depending on results and neurologist's instructions.
i have started taking mucuna only. it is the only med for PD i have found very helpful. dosage amount and timing YOYO ( you are on your own)..
i have amantadine for tremor taking one or two daily or none.
amantadine was my sole PD med for several years. the usual max of 3
gave interesting hallucinations.
