Does L-dopa (Sinemet) reduce tremor?
 
I know it is good for other PD symptoms but does it reduce tremor too??
I will greatly appreciate feedback.

sinemet and tremor
 
imark--
I've had PD for 22 years (am 54 now), and I have found that sinemet is the
ONLY med that gets rid of my tremors.

Hi imark ...
 
"Levodopa and Sinemet reduce Parkinson’s disease symptoms, including:

* Tremor
* Stiffness
* Slowness
* Impaired muscle control
* Difficulty with balance
* Walking difficulties"

Why do you ask ?

Neil.

Thanks Neil
 
I am not taking PD medication yet. Tremor is my main complain. It is not severe and I am delaying PD medication and taking mucuna and supplements for the present. Actually I was not sure that sinement helps with tremor. It is good to know it does. :)
