There is a drug wghich controls nausea associated with taking Sinemet very Wei. It is called domperidone, but is not available in the US. It is in Canada and Europe. It is more effective than increasing carbidopa. Nausea usually is si side effect early in treatment with sinemet, but can persist in some people. Other tactics to minimise discomfort are to take with a small amount of bland food, such as bread or crackers, and using ginger, or. Ginger based soft drinksv. Hope this helps.
