I always have some crackers (saltine, graham or ritz) with my morning meds. helps with the weak legs and nauseous feeling. Trust that you will find something that helps you.

That is a HUGE dose! Especially the Sinemet. I think you should get a second opinion about your medication. Stiff legs and nausea does not sound right at all!

You are not doing anything wrong. You are just taking what your Doctor prescribed. Second opinion is called for here. Your medication should not be making you so sick.

I was taking about 8 sedimet a day and it caused a lot of trouble. Please check with your neurologist (motion specialist)

JimV5680, No, the Clonazepam just makes me sleep well in about 15-30 minutes. It just helps me sleep soundly without the scary and violent dreams I have otherwise.
