Dear Sir James, If you have been thinking about asking the doc about adding Sinemet, I hope you will follow your own instincts and do so. Although it's true that each medication can bring with it some unwanted side effects, it's also true that each person has a unique experience with Sinemet. There are people who have no side effects at all from Sinemet, as well as those who do. Your own instincts are an excellent guide -- 'specially with the dragons to back you up!
