I take 2 x 8mg of ropinorole slow release. At 8am and 2 x 125 mg of co- beneldopa three times a day .but as an experiment I cut the co -benaldopa 1 every four hours just keeping it to 5 in 24 hours and my freeze of gait is much better but. The tremors are worse so when needed I take 1000 mg of MP and I'm much better Alanjohn

How long ago did you start this regime Alanjohn? I find it takes about 3 weeks for some med changes to show their full effect.
