Hi this is my first post on the forum. I was diagnosed about a year ago and prescribed Sinemet but every dose I was really sick so given Domperidone too but only short term so tried Madopar with same results. The annoying thing was they really helped PD symptoms-and weight loss!!! My nurse prescribed Neupro that doesn’t cause the nausea but the neurologist told me to stop using it. I’m really not sure what to take now. I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has had the same experience. Sorry for a long post but thanks for reading.

Hello Tess … Have you thought about taking your medication with food?
I have Parkinson’s & take Sinemet & have no trouble with nausea.
Best of luck.
