It has continued to clean me out since Tuesday, and today was absolute hell..From what I understand, Sinemet/Stalevo is absorbed through the small intestine, and if there is and kind of choas going on in there, the pd meds do not absorb..I took four 200mg Stalevos, and got one hour of on time untill 7 pm tonight..I was getting on and off dykinesia all day like my meds were trying to kick in, and when I wasnt dyskinetic, I couldnt move and was in agony
Finally I took a teaspoon of Zandopa, took a nap, and got up feeling medicated, and now at 11:15 pm, I am feeling great
Evidently, because of pd, my body doesn't process that colon prep med, and flush it out of my body
Thank God they didnt find any polyps this time, and I dont have to have another Colonoscopy for 10 years, and depending on my health at that time, I may choose to never have another one again..The fast, beat the **** out of me as it was..I was very weak on Wed morning
Has anyone else had this experience?

Yup, I had one 3 weeks ago. Did not have as much problem with the PD meds afterward. I think that was because they gave me propofol (Michael Jackson) cocktail.
So I went home and slept. I lost 6 pounds on that plan! I went for reflux and constipation so bad that after 3-4 days it would let loose and if I wasn't on the throne it was a mess, no warning! I go back for a REPEAT upper GI exam, they found an ulcer and want to check on it from my prior upper GI.
