Thanks Phil. I appreciate it. My concern was needing more and more over time. I could see that being a problem for me. I will mention it to my dr, but I’ve read it interferes with sleep as well and that’s already a problem. I’ll listen to his opinion, but he’s never brought it up so I don’t know if he’s good with it either. Thanks again though. It’s good to be informed by someone who’s been there.

Hi, i take 800mg of Madopar per day plus sinemet slow realease at night. I also take 2.25mg Sifrol daily. Helps me get through each day and stops the tremoring to a degree, but not all the other symptoms. They say though everyone is different so good luck to you, i wish you the very best. X

Hi Mike, please don't misunderstand me 😃 we know medicine works differently in people, you may be ok with it which will be fantastic for you, please don't be put off by my experience. Talk to your GP

Madopar was the best drug for me about 15 years ago. It was the only one that would get me started in the morning and throughout the day........... ( sinister music ) but be extremely careful. As PD gets worse, so the GP will up the dose, until I was addicted ( 6000 mg every 24 hours ) it contributed to ruining my life, no exaggeration. I had to be taken off Madopar immediately and my rescuer came in the form of Duodopa which is much the same drug ,administered a different way.
I wish you all the best.

Do you ask a lot of questions
