There have been a number of postings recently relating Sinemet to fatigue.
I think perhaps that we should look at this problem in the reverse order.
I noticed that most, if not all, of the messages mention medication for
depression; others describe symptoms which could be considered to be
symptomatic of depression. One of the common symptoms associated with
Depression is fatigue, with the patient spending far more time than normal
sleeping or lying down. The reasoning that leads to a conclusion that Sinemet
can cause tiredness seems to be:
TakeSinemet. 2 to 3 hours Feeling low; tired Maybe Sinemet
Feeling good. => --------------=>It's not time for----=> makes you tired
later my next Sinemet yet
I think it should be:
Conclusion: I've got
Sinemet is wearing Depression and my tabs TakeSinemet => 2to3 hrs -----> off: begin to feel are wearing off more
Feeling good -------- bad: depression returns quickly
later
If the time over which thw Sinemet is effective begins to reduce, the best
strategy is to go with the reduced time, rather than take a larger dose.
