my dad was on all kinds of parkinson med's-he had been getting dizzy and sick and his muscles were tensing up-well, he didn't want to take the next dose the one day cuz it made him so sick. We didn't give it to him, and he did better! No dizzy spells, his legs didn't tense up, and he is doing a lot better...with no meds...?? The doc said to keep him off of it til he sees him. ----- Original Message ----- From: Coleen Pettit <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2000 10:08 PM Subject: idea :) > Sunday my hubby didn't take (forgot) his second dose of pills...sinemet cr > 50/200 and eldepryl 5 mg in the afternoon...he takes this batch at noon or > at least 1/2 hour before he eats lunch. > > he didn't have a problem with this..he didn't feel bad at > all...soooooo...we are trying to do this every other day. > > I will call the dr tomorrow to fill him in. hey...he doesn't feel bad and > doesn't get dizzy...he gets that way after he takes the pills,,.,and gets > drowsy.
