Stalevo side effects

Hello to everyone and hoping you are all having a lovely day 😀

I am curious as to advice regarding Stalevo, if anyone has had the experience of having side effects from this medication?

My mother has been taking it for 3 weeks almost 4 weeks and she has felt horrible from the beginning. Weakness, confusion, gastrointestinal discomfort, dyskenisia etc. There have been almost no benefits to taking it. She was on Sinemet before and she at least was more able to move, although with dyskenisias. I am wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences of feeling worse on it?

I appreciate the feedback.
Thank you

  1. Hi sorry to hear what your mom is enduring. Hopefully anyone who may have any similar experiences will respond soon. Have you spoken with your mother's doctor about her symptoms? If it hasn't been done already, we always recommend reaching out to one's physician with new or developing symptoms. Wishing you and your mom well. -Jessica (Team Member)

    1. Stalevo can cause side effects like weakness, confusion and GI discomfort.
      Your mother's experience is not uncommon. It's worth discussing with her doctor to reassess her treatment plan.
