Hi

I have been on 7 Madopar,2 slow release,1 Rasigiline and 3 or 4 injections of 6 ml each of the Apogo Pen which is brilliant.I do sleep pretty well for about 6 hours but do have dreams,some ok but others scary and I have tried physically to leap out of bed without knowing I am doing it.During the day,Madopar,together with Stalevo which I take 5 times daily,enable me to get about to the exent that I am still able to drive.We all react differently so give them a try..David.

Hello, I too am on Madopar slow release at night. I was given it as I woke up several times a night with cramping in my legs. I also take Stalevo and Rasageline. Try what your doc suggests, everyone needs a different combination , good luck xx Christne

If you have trouble remembering when to take meds, set your cell phone alarms to the times you need to take meds. It keeps me on time and the family is also trained when its "feeding time."
