Just been put on sinemet 12.5 so that I can lower ropinirole slow release tabs ,am now on 16mg of rop .
Symptoms of pd got worse , walking not as good . Got in touch with Parkinson nurse she said to add from 1 sinemet 3 times a day to 2 x 3 times a day , doing this gradually , which I have .

I am at the moment taking 2 in morning , 1 lunch and 2 in evening ,
to my family s amazement My facial expression s are exaggerated when talking ,I do a lot of silly expressions which is not like me !!!! My speech is mumbled and Im constantly moving ,not sudden twitching just hand on my face or through hair for example.

Has anyone else gone through this or just me , is it because my body hasn't adjusted to new drug , I am doing it slowly .
I know sinemet has side effects ,but suerly not on such small dose.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
