Dear Steffi,

I was up to 1800 milligrams and also taking comtan, mirapex, zooloft, saroquel and I hope that was all, when I went into the hospital. The director of the Mayo movement disorder clinic assured the doctors no harm could come from Sinemet and I was sent to hear him because I kept my dose too low according to my neurologist. I know it is toxic, I don't know if it is addictve. Had DBS and am back doen to 600 mg and 1 mirapex tab, 1 seraqual and 1 zooloft.

I am suspecting there is a problem with the placement of the DBS battery on my left side, as I have excruciating pain when I move the left arm.

Vicky
