I too was having severe jerking and uncontrolled movement on my left side , i and my dr chalked it up to over medication, he reduced sinemet intake and subscribed non timed release sinemet for severe off times. it seemed to help a bit, but recently it just seemed to get worse, going from jerking around to shaking tremors to a brief time of ok-ness. this past week on my own, i cut my sinemet intake in half from 1 25/100 with 1 .25 permax ever 4 hours to 1/2 25/100 with 1 .25 permax aalong with a amatadine every other time for good measure, it really made a BIG difference i have done this since wednesdsay of this week and have had no, NO episodes of uncontrolled arm movements!. no if i could just get rid of thetremors!!!! hang in there. lisa in paradise 41/6pd ---------- > From: Mark Bastian <[log in to unmask]> > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: HELP ME!!SOMEONE!! > Date: Saturday, April 03, 1999 11:54 PM > > I am 43 yr old woman dx. last december 1998.
