Other PD Meds I Have Used

Comtan 200 mg
I just finished a trial test using Comtan. It is to be used ONLY with Sinemet and it's purpose is to prolong the "on" time of Sinemet to about 6 hours. My reaction to it was as follows:
Good: Increased "on" time to about 5 hours, reduced tremors and twitches (involuntary movements).
Bad: Hyperactive, constipation, weight loss, upset regular sleep patterns, sleepy, and lethargic. As a result, I have since decreased dosage from 3 to 1, and will see how it works.

Deprenyl (Selegiline)
I have taken Deprenyl and found it useful; but, as I was advised by my neurologist to use as few drugs as I can, and since Sinemet works better than Deprenyl for me, I decided to stay with Sinemet.

Liquid Deprenyl
Pure Liquid Deprenyl is, to the best of my knowledge, no longer available at the present time. Another version is being sold in Mexico, California, and in the Channel Islands. My neurologist has advised me not to use it.

NADH
A long history of use in Germany, with many claims. I have tried it, and while I can't say it reduced my tremors, it sure increased my energy.

This is the extent of my experience with PD drugs.

Agonists
I have not tried Agonists because of the possibility of a "sleep attack" while driving. Dopamine Agonists, such as: Pariodel, Permax Mirapex, Requip and Pronoran, are often given to people with Parkinson's before having to take Sinemet. (These drugs often postpones the time when the patient has to go on Sinemet). Others, such as: Requip and Mirapex have been associated with sleep attacks; and people who drive should not use them. A complete run down on these drugs can be found in www.medscape.com.

(Note: I use homemade applesauce (with skins) when taking all pills!)
