Sinemet Withdrawal
Hi folks!
Anyone have any experience with strategies and timeframes regarding withdrawal after discontinuing use of Sinemet? I would appreciate personal experience and am aware of the life-threatening hazards. Thanks. |

Withdrawing from sinemet is not held to be a good thing, unless it is done under medical supervision. There is the possibility of something called Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, which I think you and your friend should read up on before doing anything. This can be triggered even by an erratic medication regime, and is life threatening. Anything calling itself a recovery programme is not neccessarily true. If your friend is trying this as a DIY option he/she should be advised that they should discuss this with their doctor/neuro.
There is a lot of misinformation out there, and while some will say it can be done, or they did it, everyone is different, and this is a powerful drug that is known to have problems when withdrawn. I can't say it clearer than that. |
ween her of slowly
titrating a parkinsons - or any patient who is ill alredy is very hard!
I will pray for her - they are making me withdrawl from klonopin after 10 years :confused: |
Thanks for your info.She is seeing a neurologist and has been steadily decreasing dosages over the past year. She is now at a point where her neurologist believes her to be overmedicated at 10 pills per week.
Thanks again. |
