Hi,
I'm a parkinsonian. My name is Phyllis Riely. I have had some of the
reactions your father had experienced. Was he on Sinemet-CR (sustained
release)?
I take 8 Sinemet CRs and 4 Sinemet 25/100s a day. My throat tightens up and
the reaction is dyskinesic in character with a chewing and shallowing
problem. I don't experience this reaction at every dose, but it occurs often.
I notice this reaction more when I am tired, and my dieuretic isn't
working well. I often get either constipation or diahrria. I have some
thoughts as to its cause:
- a build up of Sinemet in the body
- Sinemet moving thru the gastrointestinal tract
I have reprints of articles that may help you. If you would like them
please send me your address directly to:
