Sinemet
I keep trying to take this drug but the dizziness is awful. Anyone else have this experience?
Yes, dyskenesia is my biggest problem with sinemet as well. At least with that I don't have any tremors which I find more disabling. Luckily so far , no freezing.
I am now on 2 X 25/100mg of sinemet every 2.5 hours. Sometimes it works well and then dyskenesia sets in. Other times, no response and the tremors go into overdrive. Dyskenesia seems to be the only side effect, do I consider myself to be lucky.
I have not experienced dizziness but if I fail to take it on time, my legs and feet hurt and I feel wobbly.
Thanks!
