Hi @judyswanson2
I was thinking about you and wondering if you have experienced any relief from the nausea yet. If so, what seemed to help you?

@maxaz1 I was also thinking about your husband, how is he doing with the nausea? Any changes?

No Teresa the nausea is not any better, really worse. I wake up in the morning and now feel nauseous too. The nausea is better after I eat a meal, but returns an hour or so later. I have been trying the crackers, but it is really not helping.
I have always had problems with constipation and with the Sinemet it is also worse. I walk 3 miles a day and am active all day and drink a lot of water, but it doesn’t seem to be helping much. I’ve been reading a lot about nausea and constipation caused by medication. I bought some Pepcid yesterday and will take it today. Wondering if it is acid reflux.
I am also up to 2 tablets in the morning, 1 1/2 in the afternoon and 1 1/2 at night. I am wondering if the increase in medication is causing my symptoms. They were much milder at the lower dosages. However, the higher dosages have helped my pain quite a bit. About a half an hour after taking the 2 tablets in the morning I feel dizzy and really tired. This is new. I lay down and in about an hour it passes. I have always had very little problem with meds in the past, so I feel really frustrated. I just feel awful. I am going to call my doctor tomorrow and tell him all of this.
Thx for your concern.
