Guest guest Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 Hello again, Since my dad has returned from the hospital, he has developped at very active jaw...it is as if he is constantly biting up and down. The doctor has ordered a blood test to check the level of some of his medication in case this is causing the mouvement. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks, Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 Joanne, We have not had experience with this but I seem to recall it is a side effect of too much sinamet. I'm not positive, so hopefully someone else will chime in!

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Joanne and Carol, It is possible that it is some sort of dyskinesia which is a side effect of Sinemet. I would certainly see the doctor as soon as possible. Don't stop the Sinemet without talking to your doctor.
