Anxiety w/new Med -Help!
 

I have been on Sinemet for a few weeks now. I'm a 32 year old who has had Parkinson's for the last few years. Prior to this, I was on Mirapex ER. I was doing well with it except that I suffered from leg cramping.

I am on the Sinemet 25-100 . I take 1.5 pills daily. I noticed that I was slowly becoming more anxious but did not blame the meds. In the past two days, the anxiety is so overwhelming and so severe that I am having trouble simply making it through the day.

My doctor said that I can omit one pill. If tomorrow follows as today went, I feel as though I may have to hospitalize myself due to the anxiety attacks.

Advice is welcome!

you need to call the dr again and tell them this med is just not working ... don't let it go to long ...

I don't know anything about Sinemet, but from posts MrsD has made in the past, I'm wondering if it, or something else, is depleting magnesium. It would be a shame to give up a med that works for something as simple as that to fix, or to blame the Sinemet if it's something else.
