Question about Sinemet. I would like to try it. Need some help please

[g29]

I've been reading some very encouraging testimonies about Sinemet.

 

In my case, the worse symptoms are DP/DR, brain fog, anxiety, panic, a lot of cognitive problems, inability to think clearly... that feeling of being "high"... Like if I'm still tripping (Actually, my last trip 8 years ago never ended, that's how I feel).... And regarding the visuals, the worse for me are the trails.

 

Well, this is the issue; I can't get Sinemet 100/25, here is only available in 250/25 or 200/50 (Sinemet SR. Very expensive)

 

What is the idea of putting more Levodopa and less carbidopa in the 250/25 formula?

 

And there is another one called "Stalevo" (as expensive as Sinemet SR), which is carbidopa / levodopa / entacapone. And this is available in recomended dose.

 

Here is the wiki link for Stalevo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalevo

 

I've been reading about entacapone, but I'm not sure if I can take this for HPPD. Does anyone knows if the extra entacapone makes any difference? Looks like it makes Levodopa even stronger.

 

Edit:

 

I was researching and I read that Levodopa loses 50% of it's effectiveness after 2-5 years. and develops long term complications.

 

I don't know if this is true or not, but that's the information that I have. Even wikipedia (spanish version) says the same about Levodopa, but this doesn't appear in the english version.

 

Imagine that you develop Parkinson's disease in the future. You would be completely screwed. Here, neurologists doesn't even prescribe it during the first stages of PD, because they want to save it for the acute phase.

 

Anyway, I'm so fucked up with my cognitive problems that I would take the chance anyway. I want a better quality of life now, for what's left of my youth years. I wouldn't worry that much about the future, I don't want to continue losing my life.

Cuando hice mi testeo del sinemet, tampoco conseguía la versión 100/25, de modo que tuve que empezar con la 200/50 y partir la pastilla en 4. No me fue para nada bien, me sentía mareado y raro. Es dificil de explicar lo único que logré fue transformar mi visual snow o estatica en un bloque solido al cerrar los ojos.
