Sid, My mother Joyce (67, 5 months) is taking Sinemet and Permax. When she mentioned to her doctor that the Permax was causing problems (mostly breathing difficulties), he said that she might want to consider Mirapax instead. She started Permax just a few months ago (I don't know if that makes the switch easier). Hope this helps. Good luck.
