Hi, Fred: My husband, 65/.5, can't take Sinemet either because of side effects. He takes eldepryl and parlodel. The only thing that worked for the tremor in his right hand was the Sinemet. I don't think the eldepryl and parlodel do any harm, but I wonder if they do him any good. He seems to think so, and I guess that's the important thing. Welcome to the List! It's been tremendously helpful to both of us. Best wishes, Delda White ([log in to unmask])
