As I get closer to one of the "Big Three" procedures- Dbs, Vyalet pump or PTT-Fus, I'm trying to get a feel for the total amount of levadopa (c/l or c/l + mucuna, etc..) people were taking before and now after their new selves are up and running. This is mainly for those of us taking a gram (1000 mg) upwards. Any other related thoughts or feelings are welcome & THANKS.Eric
