sorry - but everyone says how nasty this drug is why not get him off
it - or lower it or keep him on this low dose. Increasing it is only
going to make him MORE miserable -and more depressed !".
My mother (80,6) also found that sinimet was causing her to be
nauseous, and she couldn't tolerate even a low dosage of the drug. She
finally found a Parkinson Specialist who advised her to take Motilium.
She now takes Motilium with each dosage of Sinimet (5 times a day
25/100), and has no troubles with nausea. Her walking and balance has
greatly improved. And since she started on Mirapex, can now get on a
bus and travel by herself.
I hope this advice helps.
