Hi Wallaby,
I do not know how much Sinemet you started on, but maybe that could be too much/ too soon\ ?
I presume that by “transdermal patch” you mean the Rotigotine patch ? Did you feel fine on this? If this is so, why not leave the Sinemet until you really need it. I have been on Sinemet for more than 10 years with only minor discomfort. Parkinson drugs are given to relieve the unpleasant symptoms of the disease. The drugs themselves should certainly not make it worse and, remember, they won’t cure it.The difficulty about this disease is that the only advice a fellow sufferer can give you is try this or try that , becuase it helped (them) me but what treatment worked for me, there is no guarantee the same treatment will help you… As our PD symptoms vary, so does the treatment … It is a question of trial and error. .
Best wishes and good luck with your appointment , Catha .
