Sinemet is taken on this schedule in order to allow for optimal
coordination at supper and to enhance a restful night.  Zantac helps to
control gastric refux at night.  Eldepryl is being decreased because of
side effects.  Lopressor (a beta blocker) is not only controls
hypertension (which is severe), but also controls tremors.
Unfortunately, Lopressor and Sinemet taken at the same time cause some
confusion and personality changes, so the Sinement dose has been
decreased.  Another anti-hypertensive is presently being tried.

We have found that anti-hypertensive have a tendency to exacerbate PD
symptoms, so a large variety of these meds has been tried.  Lopressor
offers the best control of hypertension without causing additional
stiffness.
