AM I GETTING ENOUGH CO-BENELDOPA?

Here in the uk the maximum L-DOPA tablets is 8 per day which I am on.

I spend more time off than on. I would like 12 tablets . Even ten would make me happy. My question is if i need them which I do . Do I have the right to take more than the maximum dose ?

That is quite a cocktail of meds! I do not feel qualified to pass comment but I have heard that PD meds and Diazapam do not mix well. Best to check this out with your Neuro.

I don't know where you are . In the uk lots of P,D take Diazepam. They are a muscle relaxer and a good one.

Please could you tel me where you are ?

Yours EXPORT.

A you will appreciate everyone on this forum has their own unique experience of Parkinson's. They can comment on their own experience but are not qualified to give advice so they will not be able to give you a specific answer your question.

All the same I hope you find this a supportive place to visit.
