Hi,
For me it's difficult to separate Bradykinesia from rigidity. (I've always had some trouble determining just what is being referred to with "rigidity" anyway)
Bradykinesia
IS Parkinson's for me - it's not just a symptom ... and yes, Sinemet is VERY effective in alleviating it.
As bad as the Dyskinesia / Dystonia from the Sinemet can be (and with me it's horrible) Bradykinesia is worse. I'm very near worthless and non-functional without my Sinemet.
Hope this helped ...

or does it do a number on bradykinesia, too?
if you experienced both bradykinesia and rigidity before you started sinemet, which interfered with your ability to carry on with your life more?
hope you all don't mind all my questions.
