Has this happened to anyone yet?
I have found that, if I take a
stalevo
dosage an hour after the first the symptoms start to disappear and things would be back to normal for approx 3 hours or longer. This seems to increase my ON time.

Moving to Spain
My wife and I, encouraged by friends, have finally decided to move to Spain This is mainly to ease my p.d as I'm up near the higher doses of
Stalevo
and the dyskinesia drives me mad. What I would like to know is:well, everything!

Everything is changing ..........Rytary??
(Sinemet, Rytary,
Stalevo
, ect). I didn't know a person on Rytary could go 8 hrs pill free and function like normal. Have others had issue with Rytary not working due to anxiety? Does Rytary increase anxiety?

sleeping too long?
He is on
Stalevo
every 4 hours and has been for some time, because of the sleeping he sometimes misses one or more doses. As I say though I am concerned about the sleeping and the extreme weakness he has when he is awake.

Stalevo vs mucuna pruriens
Yesterday I went to my doctor with a question: Can I replace
stalevo
with mucuna pruriens, on the grounds that the first is a chemical drug whereas the second is a natural plant extract.

Doubling the amount of levadopa??
My fathers doctor had prescribed
stalevo
with 50mg levadopa 3 times daily. That meant he took 150mg levadopa each day. However we saw no improvement in his slowness and walking etc.

Probable idiopathic Parkinson’s disease Recent right hemispheric stroke
When I collected his prescription a few days ago I noticed that his
Stalevo
was double his normal strength, and informed the pharmacy who said this is on the prescrition sent by his GP.

Excessive Sleepiness, almost comatose
She takes
Stalevo
, Rivastigmine and fludrocortisone. Does this excessive sleepiness happen to others with Parkinson’s? Can anyone offer any ideas that they found helped it? Would really appreciate any advice.

Using carbonated drinks to take Sinemet.
I'm on
Stalevo
but use Sinemet as needed if I'm down hard. Try it, works for me. By the way not having sciatica now I can almost tolerate my off times.

Beware generic drugs, and stalevo, coming out of Wockardt pharmecuticals, India.
Please know that the generics for
stalevo
, do not work as well as the
stalevo
. Many variables in generic. And tell your pharmacy you do not want any thing coming from Wockardt, FDA has been shutting down their locations in India. Look up on any website.
