Ervin..... Many Parkies (including myself) are susceptible to itchy-type skin irritations -seborrhea <> working over-time, I gather. Before you give up Sinemet, you might try taking Benedryl, an over the counter anti-histamine. That made the itching tolerant for me and I still take Sinemet.

I have been told to back off the drug and eventually discontinue it. If this is the gold standard for Parkinson's where do we go from here? [log in to unmask]
