Sinemet CR (carbidopa / levodopa) for Parkinson's Disease: I was placed on Sinemet CR (1 x 4 times daily) as a result of Sinemet "wearing off". I am a carer for my wife who is extremely disabled, thus I needed a medication which allowed me to still manage her needs whilst controlling my Parkinson's. CR has worked and although I have episodes of trembling as I get nearer the end of an 6 hour medication cycle I am very happy with it as I am able to tend to my wife's medical needs and carry out cooking duties as required.

Sinemet (carbidopa / levodopa) for Restless Legs Syndrome: Sinemet works great for my restless legs syndrome, even better than the drugs more popularly prescribed. It is absolutely the one medication I cannot live without!
Sinemet (carbidopa / levodopa) for Restless Legs Syndrome: I have Restless legs both at night and during the day. The Sinemet helps some at night, but doesn't last through the night. I can't take it during the day because it makes me sleepy and upsets my stomach. If I take it with food it doesn't work at all.
I have a heart condition, so there are some medicines I can't take.
carbidopa / levodopa for Parkinson's Disease: After many medications and several diagnosis, just after once day since I was put on this medication I feel like part of my life is regained.
Sinemet (carbidopa / levodopa) for Restless Legs Syndrome: It is working great for me and unlike other medications it is not a controlled drug nor addicting.
Sinemet CR (carbidopa / levodopa) for Parkinson's Disease: I started Sinemet 25/100mg and within 2 hrs my tremor stopped. I still get some but not as bad as before. My walking also improved.
Sinemet CR (carbidopa / levodopa) for Restless Legs Syndrome: Watch out for increase in restless legs syndrome (augmentation) at higher doses. Info I found says should NOT be taken every day for RLS, not more than 3 times per week.
Sinemet (carbidopa / levodopa) for Restless Legs Syndrome: I suffer from restless legs syndrome since 14 years ago and been taking Sinemet since. The only medication that works for me but only lasts for 2 to 3 hours then need to take again. For about nearly 2 years I came to realize that after eating food or drink contain msg/monosodiom glutamate - 621,627 which will contribute my suffering so if I eat less of this and will be less suffering.
Sinemet (carbidopa / levodopa) for Restless Legs Syndrome: I have had restless legs syndrome for years due to iron deficiency. I took Sinemet for about a year and it seemed to work great for me. However, I could not take the full or even half of the dose because it really made me feel drowzy the following day so I would break it up and take a very small piece of the pill. Also, if you don't go to bed after taking it and stay up for a while, it can have the adverse effect on you. Makes you really sleepy, but make your restless legs symptoms worse. Good Luck!
carbidopa / levodopa for Restless Legs Syndrome: I have had restless legs syndrome for over 15 years. It has gotten worse over the years, but with my doctor increasing my medication, my symptoms have been for the most part under control.
