I've been on Sinemet now since I was 32 years old and now I'm 65 years old. I remember what it was like when I first started on Sinemet and I had the same problems your going through. All I can say eventually it does get better and more tolerable. It just takes time.

May I ask why you were prescribed carbidopa-levodopa (sinemet) at 32 years old? I'm 31 years old I have been on carbidopa-levodopa since 2024. I have learned since being on it that its not commonly prescribed to young people and very rare for off-label usage, like in my case. I have had a permanent right calf cramp since 2021, with atrophy starting 2023 and all medical tests are negative/normal and in 2024 a neurologist from the Mayo Clinic prescribed me carbidopa-levodopa and it has helped with the stiffness of the calf. I take 4 pills 3 times daily.

How amazing! It's good to know that after 33 years, Sinemet still works!
