Has anyone ever accidentally double dosed Sinemet? I think I did it. Is there anything I can do? I feel like I have used some kind of cocaine with very bad stuff. Jonesing, chattering non-stop, suddenly crying. My husband is alarmed.

There was a thread about Sinemet overdose some time back.
overdose PS: I don't understand what "Jonesing" means. |

I mean I am hyper. Can't stop licking my lips and flipping my head around. Miserable. I called my insurance companies 24 hour nursing service. She had me call poison control. They said that the dose PI took is not a problem but I will just have to wait it out. So upsetting.

I'm very glad that you are OK.
As someone suggested in the "overdose" thread, a daily pillbox with a number of compartments might prevent this from happening again. |

You 'll just have to tough it out till your morning schedule comes around, you might even feel like you don't need that round of meds. I wouldn't skip it personally.

It happens.
Pill box with the daily pills helps. Sometimes you need more than one pillbox. Really needed a 7 x 7 pill box. Post DBS has been good as I've cut back on dose of Sinmet & Comtan. Goal was to be on 1/2 previous levels after a year, so looks like it will work nicely. I still take one 25/100 every four hours, but that is fairly straight forward.

Typed in "7 x 7 pill box" and this popped up. "Unique design for Parkinson's Patients" -- someone knows us!
Parkinson's 7 Doses per Day Weekly Pill Box $34.95 Company based in Boston, Massachusetts. No affiliation, but some interesting products. What Is PD?
