Name:Marvin Giles e-Mail:([log in to unmask]) Zipcode:75063 Age:44 Weight:200 Sex:Male Years Parkinsonian:2 Years Medication: 7 months Medical Indications: 1.bradykinesia 2. general weakness 3. lack of facial expression 4. tremor in right arm Medications: NAME DOSAGE(mg X daily frequency) 1.Sinemet 25/100 X 3 2. Eldepryl 10mg X 2 3. Generic Multiple Vitamin Comments: 1. The 25mg Sinemet proved to be to much and caused rather nasty mood swings in addition to the fact that I was off more often than on. I am currently taking 1/2 tablet at roughly 2 1/2 hour intervals. The mood swings have dissapeared and I am on most of my working day (8am-5pm). 2.During off periods tremor and general weakness are my major problems. 3.I have problems with bradykinesia in the morning before the first dose takes effect. 4. Involuntary movement of the legs indicates the begining of the slide to "off" and the need for the next dose. The right arm tremor will begin about 1/2 hour later. 5. Since begining the use of Eldepryl I've had problems sleeping more than five hours. I do not have problems falling asleep initially. Roughly five hours after the second Eldepryl dose I become very sleepy and assume that this is a side effect of the Sinemet. --<--<@ Marvin @>-,-`-- [log in to unmask] http://rampages.onramp.net/~mgiles/
