My mom is 84 and has had Parkinson's for approx. 13 years. She currently takes 2- 25/100 Sinemet CR 5-6 times a day depending on when she gets up.
And recently her mds added 1-25/100 regular sinemet 3x a day. So she ranges from 1300-1500 per day. The only other thing she takes is an occasional Benedryl at bed time. In the last month or so she has a big drop in blood pressure causing black outs/ dizzy. Took her yesterday to md and also called mds, both agreed that she should increase her fluid intake, use more salt, and wear compression hose. Her bp was up this afternoon. Also just found out that her MDS is moving to Virginia, its always something! Narda |

I take 3 tabs a day, so 300. I also take stalevo, 3/day which has carbidopa/levadopa and entacapone in it. Not sure the ratio on that.

600mg crew combined with 6mg pramipexole.
The Pramipexole dose exceeds the max recommended but it gives me good results, cuts down the l-dopa I need and hence results in less dyskinesia, (or so the theory goes). I was dx'ed 8 years ago. Neil. |

Yep I get all that great extra movement like dancing with the stars except that it ain't no tango. Really wish I could cut down. Additionally I take 1.5 mg Mirapex ER twice a day. The dyskinesia is killing me. I also get horrendous foot cramps that bend my foot in two and feel like the bones are breaking. Anyone have a magic bullet for dyskinesia????? |
