Anyone using entacapone to supplement Sinemet?

Hello @rockwood,
I am sorry to hear that your husband is not getting much relief from the gait freezing. That is a frustrating problem to have.
Have you considered getting a second opinion? Patients always have the right to a second opinion if they do not feel that their needs are being met by their current medical team.
A movement disorder specialist, is a neurologist with special training in disorders like PD. I'd highly recommend that his second opinion be with this type of doctor.
Is your husband currently seeing a general neurologist or a movement disorder specialist?

My apologies for responding so late. I don=E2=80=99t have time to visit =
this site daily or frequently as my life has been turned upside down =
with me being the only person who has to do everything.
My husband is seeing a neurologist who specializes in Parkinson at Mount =
Sinai. The doctor came highly recommended. I begin to suspect the nature =
of gait freezing is just a more difficult aspect of PD=E2=80=99s. As you =
might know, even DBS doesn=E2=80=99t help gait freezing.
We will consider seeing a movement specialist. Thank you for caring.
