Another Medication Update

My meds have changed slightly.  Last week I visited my neurologist, who increased my Sinemet dosage to 4 pills a day instead of 3.  Everything else is the same.

I hope I’m recording the dosage amounts from the bottle labels correctly – sometimes it’s not clear what the numbers mean:

• Ropinirole, 0.5 mg – 3 tabs 3 x day
• Azilect, 1 mg – 1 tab in the morning
• Sinemet (carbidopa-levodopa), 25-100 mg – 1 tab 4 x day
• Nortriptyline, 50 mg – 1 tab at night
• Simvastatin, 20 mg – 1 tab at night
• Clonazepam, 1 mg – 1 tab at night
• Androgel 1.62%, 20.25 mg per pump – 4 pumps every morning

I also take these OTC items:

• Aspirin, 325 mg – 1 tab
• Multivitamin with Minerals
• D3-2000 IU
• CoQ10, 100 mg
• Saw Palmetto, 450 mg
• Acetyl L-Carnitine, 400 mg

I list these here on my blog so others can know what I’m taking.  Also, whenever I see a new doctor or PD researcher, I get asked what meds I’m on.  So I’ll open this page on my iPhone and hand it over.
