Does Sinemet cause muscle pain, tremors, and stiffness?
human
My wife has had atypical Parkinson s Disease since 2004. She is taking 2 and 1/2 tablets of 25/100 Sinemet tablets via peg tube every 2 and 1/2 hours. She can not talk, walk, stand, she only can move her right hard very slightly for a limited amount of time. She has peg tube for feeding, she is confined to a bed or a recliner. My question is is the Sinemet doing anything at this point of the disease? She is stiff has a board, she starting to had very slight tremors, muscle pain seems to be a problem. I am not sure whether it would be better to reduce the amount of Sinemet, discontinue, or look into a leodupa pump to give her Sinemet.

Hello,in my opinion, sinemet is no more working for her as the rigidity is increasing. The effects of sinemet usually wane off with time. You should increase the dose of sinemet in my opinion. please discuss with your doctor about this. thanks
