Sinemet and moods ?

[Austinsmom]

Can Sinemet get people moody or personality to intensify ?

[Curious]

good question.

my dad is on sinemet. i have wondered if the changes in him were dues to his meds. he also takes provigal and aricept. i'm anxious to see that others think or facts they find.

Beware of aricept.

can i ask why mama?

my dad had the most horrific experience with requip. that is actually why i found the old mgh...to get help. it took so long for him to recover. he hasn't been the same since.

with the aricept his mind is so clear. btw...dad is in his mid 70's. it has been a joy having him recall his youth. and countless war stories. :D

but i would love to know any drawbacks.

i hear ya steve. :o my dad was a pilot. played baseball. even did the cubs fantasy league! he has lost a good 40lbs. shuffles. can't drive. doesn't even workout anymore. something he has done for years. ( i own a health club ) all the changes depress him.

the only thing my dad says is a plus...he gets to eat all the dark choccy he wants! neuro approved.
