Dear Coleen, > 1. I forget...what makes restless legs go away... > I think Dr. said Sinemet regular 25/100 is supposed to help...was that > correct? Sinemet is sometimes given for relief of RLS.

If your husband uses levodopa, protein will block levodopa absorption. He should take his levodopa 30-60 minutes prior to a protein-containing meal or snack. All foods except fruit contain at least a small amount of protein; however, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, and cheese are among the highest-protein foods.
