Has anyone tried to stop Sinemet (Carbidopa-Levodopa)? I'd be curious.
The following warning appears on the web: ------------------------------------------- WARNING! Do not stop taking Sinemet suddenly, as a serious group of side effects, known as neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), may occur. Symptoms of NMS include: •A high fever •Stiff muscles •Confusion •Irregular pulse or blood pressure •A fast heart rate (tachycardia) •Sweating •Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) ------------------------------------------- I stopped cold turkey 3 weeks ago and have had little negative reaction but absolutely no muscle stiffness. I can do little things now that were either impossible or very difficult: shaving, showering, driving, writing, getting out of a chair, typing, rolling over in bed. Just wondering if others have had experiences they could share. Jim |
