Neupro patch

Posted by marie @mariemarie, Dec 13, 2017

I have been on sinemet (generic) for a month. One pill a day. The only side effect is stomach upset and head feels like cotton (stuffed). Neurologist asked if i want to try the patch and stop taking sinemet. Anyone had experience with patch?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Parkinson's Disease Support Group.

Marie: If I may ask, was your stiffness all over or just in a particular area? Mine is mainly in my right thigh.

The stiffness was in ham strings only. But now gone.
