I'm not surprised you thought my post of a couple of days ago weird, Motherfather, I left out any mention of the medicine I've been on for some time now. So here's what I intended to write (I blame the PD!).
I live in the UK and so am blessed to be under the care of a Parkinson's Disease Nurse. I have been on SINEMET for some years now. Currently I am on SINEMET Plus 25/100 tablets, taking 2 tablets at 4 hour intervals, four times a day. Rather than increase the SINEMET to what the nurse would consider to be the maximum daily dose, as a boost, she has prescribed dispersible Madopar 62.5mgs on an ad hoc basis, maximum of one dose per day. I wondered if anybody on this site has experience of this. TIA
regards
Jim

Yes my husband has it as a rescue remedy if his Stelevo wears off and it does now so he’s taking it regularly at 6 hour intervals. Just about to start on Safinamide- MAO-B, at suggestion of Parkinson’s nurse, but needs to withdraw from Asilect first. You might want to talk to Parkinsons nurse about a MAO-B if you are not taking one 😀
