I have experienced much of the same as you but i did have uppp last summer. it didn't work. i am not familiar with sinemet however, i was taking zestril to try and keep nose congestion down. it worked for that but i was still tired. my doc told me to switch to claritan a couple of days ago. seems zestril (antihistamine) can cause tired sleepy feeling the next day. claritan is not supposed to have that side effect. may be too early to tell but after two days on claritan today was pretty good. doc said i should notice a difference after a couple of days. maybe he will be right. also, sleep doc told me some people take 8 - 9 months to feel full effect of cpap. he also said many of those who feel like a million dollars the day after strating cpap usually stay on a plateau for a few days/weeks then fall off and don't feel like a million any more. maybe just a few thousand LOL. hope it gets better for me and you too. good luck. p.s., am using gold seal gel mask too and have exactly the smae kind of problems. nose itches you have to wake up and scratch it, something that others do naturally in their sleep. Guess we'll have to learn to live with that until something better comes along, but i know how you feel. its a pain.
