I made it through the summer.
I'm taking generic CARB/LDOP/ENTA 25-100-200 tabs 4 x a day + 50-200
carbidopa
-levo ER 2x a day. Carisoprodol 350mg 4 x a day for muscle spasms. I lost another 20 lbs and am down to 115 lbs. I'm thinking the weight loss has helped me be more active and I feel pretty good.

Off the Ropinirole Now What!!
I called my Neurologist this morning and he took me off the ropinirole (I was taking 3mg 3 times a day) He just said quit taking them and he changed my
carbidopa
/levodopa to 2 pill 3 times a day instead of 1 1/2 4 times a day.I am very leary of this change, I have down time as it is with lots of tremors

There is hope!
I continue with 1/2 sinemet, thinking that the
carbidopa
might help carry the powder thru the blood brain barrier easier. I may not need it and will try stopping sinemet all together one of these days. The neurologist had wanted me to try Neupro - but it didn't let me get off the Sinemet.

Home made carbidopa-levodopa syrup
I had a hour long session with my MDS Neuro yesterday. The bulk of the time was discussing dbs. He did mention a technique of grinding up the c-l dopa and mixing with water making a syrup to be sipped through the day.... the idea is to smooth out the on off dyskinesias. Anybody try this?

Another treatment with exciting results - Duodopa (levadopa-carbidopa gel)
This video from Sweden is very short but dramatic. It show Pers who uses Duodopa treatment. Before and after shots. It is available in some parts of Europe. US are in trial. There certainly seems to be alot to be hopeful about. I was thinking on DBS and reading the Postings

Do you experience "wearing off"?
If you are taking
carbidopa
/levodopa you most likely have experience "wearing off". Have you ever experienced a time when you felt a "wearing off" at an unpredictable time and if so did you panic or suddenly "freeze"? Was there a reason why you felt that "wearing off" feeling? Jupiterjane

Is it me or is it my meds?
He increased my Requip XL to 8 mg daily from 6, and I take 4
Carbidopa
/Levodopa 25/100 tablets daily. He wants me to try the increase in Requip XL for 2 weeks, then check back in with him. He may, at that time change the
Carbidopa
/Levodopa to Stalevo. I feel like I'm going crazy.

Anybody experience pain when making a fist?
I could not continue to work and was able to retire on disabilty My neurologist, whom I trust, prescribed generic Sinemet (25 mg
carbidopa
and levadopa 100 mg) 3x daily, plus Pramipexole, which was soon replaced by Azilect 1 mg once daily.
