When I was first diagnosed almost 4 years ago the only symtoms I had
was resting tremor of the right leg, arm and mild rigidty of right side.
I was started on sinemet 50/200 CR 3x a day and this relieved all
symtoms. Now I'm on 5mg selegiline 2x a day, sinemet CR 50/200 3-5x a
day (depending on what I have to do at work), plus sinemet 10/100 to
start the morning and another before I work out (levodopa is used in
muscles as a sugar for energy). This still relieves the tremor except
at the end of dose period (for me 3-4 hrs). I hope this helps.
