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

questions
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.

Given med from neuro,,,we don't know if I have pd but I have most symptoms ,,, I also have full body muscle wasting,,idiopathic , and neuropathy .

The dosage is 25-100 half tab 3x then. After2weeks full tab 3xdaily
But I can't get past 1/2 tab bc side effects, Other meds I take at a different time r Xanax, and pamalor ,,,

He is giving me this as a trial to see if it helps

Thanks!
