Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Yes, my dad had this jaw clinching episodes whenever the Sinemet dosage was too high or when he was in an " on " period, along with the jerking movements, characterizing he was over-dosed. It was hard to guess when to dose him, and during the late stage, he spit out the pills or hid them in his mouth. Sinemet was a life line, but also a problem if he didn't have much in his stomach. uncontrolled chin mouvements 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?

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Rick, Thanks for sharing that information with me. I would like to know what the problems your dad had when he had an empty stomach. My father is not eating much. Also in what way was Sinemet a lifeline for your father. My dad is apparently on a low dose and I'm not sure what it is doing. Thanks Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
