Perhaps it was a trial Rx to see if you might have PD?

1. what kind of dr.? GP, NEURO, other? 2. what is your exact dosage and strength? 3. what other drugs/supps are you taking? if your're taking 1/2 100mg tab once a day i doubt that any is getting into your brain since most will be broken down in your peripheral tissues. not an expert but don't think of sinemet as a drug to treat non-pd tremor. i don't think it is used to treat essential tremor. |
