Medication

I am currently taking [[treatment:Sinemet:55d551c11fcaa39f0e[[phone:000079]] 25-100:]]. I am to take 2 pills 3x daily. However I have not been instructed as to how much time I should leave between each dose. Would anyone be able to share with me what your schedule looks like? I have been told that taking pills on time is very important. I do know the rule about protein-- Take medication 30 minutes before eating or 2 hours after eating.

I was just talking to someone in the drug section at publix who asked me why i did not take Sinemet instead of Carbidopa, after I had a problem with the new manufacturer they were using for my Carbi. It was not reacting with me well.. I did not know why my doctor did not give me Sinemet. Maybe because the price is higher?? I will have to look into that. My question is, do any of you take Sinemet instead of Carbidopa and why, and if you found it to work better,

Only been on any medication for 2 weeks and taking every 8 hours (so 3 times a day). After 6.5 to 7 hrs I start to feel pretty bad and shakey inside. I'll ask my doctor of course but live in Houston so couldn't reach today (city is flooded and didn't feel this warranted an emergency call). Wondered if anyone's on line who has advice as I'm dreading this evening and morning. Also - how long does it take to properly work? I've seen a lot of improvement (I can shower without fear of falling and do… read more

My husband has stooped posture, muscle rigidity, oily face, weakness on right side, back pain and walking difficulty. He has bladder urges especially at night and constipation, but he doesn't have a tremor. He didn't start taking this medicine last year because I heard it can cause you to start having tremors. Does anyone else take this medicine even though they didn't have tremors???

I am wondering if some you could tell me what you have done/or are doing to prolong the effect of your medication. Also, is anyone using some kind of a pump? Sorry, I don't know what it is called. It is supposed to deliver the medication more evenly.
