Default Thank You, Kari

for responding so quickly to my post. At the present time, Doreen is taking only Sinemet...3 1/2 tabs...25/100 daily. Tremor has been her only PD symptom throughout the 10+ years since diagnois, i.e., other than the medication-related side effect of dyskinesias. I will add that she is still titrating off the Cogentin brought about by the terrible cognitive side effects she had been experiencing with this medication. Cogentin had been prescribed precisely for the tremors...and it certainly "worked" extremely well in that she really had no tremor while taking the Cogentin. Now that she is taking 1/2 the dosage of this "med", the tremor has returned...not as badly as before the Cogentin...but, nevertheless, it has returned and we fully expect it to be more enhanced once she eliminates Cogentin completely; thus, the need to find something specifically geared to controlling tremors. Thank you again, Kari, for your prompt response.

Therese
