Hi Ervin, I have been taking Synthroid since 1972. I can sure tell the difference when I don't take it. My fatigue is doubled if I don't take my Synthroid. as far as curing anything I can't tell that either, except my Thyroid tests are where they should be. Synthroid should be taken on an empty stomach, so I take it when I first get up and about an hour later I chew one 25/100 Sinemet and drink a glass of Cranberry juice. I started taking Sinemet in 1995 and there is no conflict between the two. Good Luck to you, it takes about 6 months to hit the right dosage with Synthroid, Come to think of it, Sinemet was about the sameway. just me, Marjorie At 04:39 PM 10/14/2000 -0700, you wrote: >Marjorie, being you have mentioned Synthroid, I have just recently been >prescribed Synthroid and was curious as to whether it conflicted with >Sinemet.
