As I type this my husband is sat with his head dropped forward he has switched off once again . He can be talking to me and his eyes will suddenly close , at the same time he usually flinches / jerks . ( sleep apnea) His medication is Sinemet Plus ..

Hi Dandelion,

Been taking Madopar for over a year now, 100 mg three times a day, with nothing to report - I may just be lucky I guess, but I can't see your problems listed anywhere.

Best to check with your PD nurse or Doctor I think?

Regards,

Mike
