Dear Dr.Thanks for reply.The above query pertains to my mom aged 86.she has been taking Syndopa for the last 4 years.Initially started with syndopa plain and then changed to plus...Intial dosage was 1 per day ..Even present dose is 1 per day of syndopa plus. DIAGNOSIS is Senile parkinsons by our local physician.Infact 2 years back the dosage was increased to 3 per day which ended up with severe hallucinations..waking up at night etc etc.So Now last 2 years dosage is stabilised at 1 syndopa plus at 4.30 PM.Reason for this time is she used to get sort of mild tremors on her legs ar this time.So the timing has been shifted to 4.30 PM from earlier 11.30 AM after lunch.Now why we are asking about CR dosage is as below.1)after taking syndopa plus at 4.30 PM ..she gets sound sleep for an hour or so and gets very fresh say by 6.30..and able to have full energy ...walk well(of course with walker only within home)..have dinner in the dinner table sitting well..All these she is able to do only after this dosage.while she gets up in tge morning all energy is lost...she behaves as if she has no interest..etc.The most important feature in the morning session is She is not able to speak properly..not able to swallow properly...we have to mash the food and help her in eating rather feeding her with a spoon.She is not able to walk also in the morning and after noon session till such time the syndopa goes in...all the symptoms reverses once the drug works till 10.30PM..we give her restyl .5 mg at around 10.30 to make her sleep.EVen at this time we cld see the drugs effect tapering off..Another important clinical symptoms apart from swallowing pblm...unable to walk..thickening of Tongue is very high fear...she does not allow to be left alone in the room even for 10 mts. So it looks clear to us that she needs this syndopa drug through out the day...But we are scared that once ...it was 2 years back...when dosage was 3 times a day...including one at bed...the sude effects were terrible...Severe hallucinations...Getting up at night ..inspite of sleeping pill . etc... we have never tried CR formulation...so we would like to know whether we can go for that...If so what is the ideal time to ve given since she takes syndopa plus at 4.30PM since last 2 years......................... I would also like to add here that bases on local physicians view of trying 1/2 of syndopa plus at 11.30 AM after lunnch...it did work only for 2 hours and by 2.30 PM suddenly she became restless...and started getting tremors ...unable to speak...lower jaw muscle movement was awkward...etc etc and beleive me doctor BP shot up and this we had to administer BP lowering drug as well as syndopa plus as per adv of doctor.Question here is how the half tablet while experimented in the morning after lunch..could give such a drastic clinical alarming symptom...exactly after 2.5 hours of administering the dosage??? Unable to understand this as the same drug given on full dose at 4.30 PM...works..... . INFACT doctor...this experiment of trying in 1/2 tablet after break fast also met with same consequences only..This is the reason we dont want to try any divided dosage...in the bfast or after lunch timings..I hope I have given the clear back ground picture of the clinical picture of my mother..KINDLY GO THRO PATIENTLY AND ADVISE US SIR as to how to space the dosage..what formulations whether normal type or CR type..We started syndopa almost 4 years back on the symptom of shaking of left arm..especially on the fingers..at rest and also lower jaw involuntary movement at rest...As per Neuro this is Senile parkinson.It s a clinical manifestation which we are daily seeing after that dosage at 4.30 PM....she gets very fresh..walks...talks..swallows on her own ..sitting on the dining table..mixing the food on her own..she says at this time...tongue is normal ...So the above is the picture Doctor.Kindly guide us . THANKS & BEST REGARDS XXXXXXX
