My then neurologist said >"live with it," Nausea was a serious problem for me when I started Sinemet over 4 years ago. I switched to CR but the nausea was still there. Fortunately I had the opportunity to meet and discuss this with Alan Bonander. He suggested that I try vanilla wafers with the medication about one half to one hour before meals. It worked then and it still works. Every once in a while I try to skip the wafers----but the nausea still comes back. I also take Eldepryl with my morning and noon Sinemet CR 50/200. This may not work for everyone but it is my survival trick. The wafers are low in protein also for minimum effect in cancelling out the Sinemet.
