Hi Ali j,Sorry to read you are suffering from coming off medication and this has put me in a dilemma,My neuro says I have mild PD and has not put me on medication but on my next visit I was going to ask to be started on some but reading what you are going through I am having second thoughts, So what do you and others think should I keep off medication until I get worse or start and hopefully get relief from a early stage.

hi silver spoon,ive been on sinemet for few years now,iam 43 and been dx for 11 half years.my neuro is takin me off it for good reasons,and placin me on something else ,may go back to sinemet if i react different agin.alot people are on sinemet and it is nown as the gold dust of meds,its very good one silverspoon,normally when you first dx you dont go on to sinemet,they tend to try others like stavelo.so it hard for me to say wot for you to do under your circustances,best to speak with your neuro.im on alot of other meds for other medical issues ,and my meds now need looking at
