Serious symtoms(symptoms)

Serious symtoms(symptoms)

Was diagnosed with Parkinson's in Nov 2008. Symtoms (symptoms) were very nomimal until about three months ago.
Suddeenly these symtoms (symptoms) really escalated; my balance is so bad a need a walker, my speach is very impaired and my vision blury, I don't feel much like eating or drinking. I am also very unsure what meds to take. I am presently taking 2 200/50 sinemets and one Comtan every 3-4 hours and they start wearing off after three hours. Am I taking too much? Could I be alergic (allergic) to sinemet? Should I be taking something else? I desperately  need to see a neurologist but have to wait three more months. I live in Edmonton, alberta, Canada. Anybody with any ideas? Is there a neurologist who could give me some answers and might even be willing to see me ASAP? Thanks for reading my desperate plea.

Hi there. There are various side effects associated with sinemet like cardiac irregularities, hypotension, syncope, gastrointestinal bleeding, duodenal ulcer, dyspepsia, taste alterations, back pain, muscle cramps, etc. These effects could be aggravating the parkinson’s  syndrome symptoms. Kindly get a revaluation done of your symptoms and drug dosages and their side effect profile. Take care.
