I dont know that its Stalevo so much as changing meds. For some people it can take some time to settle on a new routine.

Hi Margaret,

Yes it’s the Stalevo; there are 3 drugs mi in the 1 tablet and when I was put on Stalevo I became dyskinetic. I was unrecognizable. I took myself off them after 2 days until my neurologist was available. I was then put on a lower dose which was modified over a period of weeks until I stabilized. I am now on a dose which I am happy with.

It will take a little time to get it right for you and it will work eventually.,

Hang in there!

Become an expert on you.

Bill
