Not started them yet but hopefully it will work. I spoke to someone else who had been given an alternative and she had side effects and her symptoms worsened. My Neurologist says you shouldn't accept a substitute but if the drug isn't available we are in trouble. Let's hope they sort it out.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member just been told about doubling up. Is that working ok for you?

Yes, I have found it difficult to get and have now got some in half the strength so have to double up the dose. I read on another site that Boots have said they are unable to get them so I think it's quite a serious situation. Roche the manufacturers have a customer care number (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators) for people in difficulties. Alternative medications don't always suit as well as what we are used to so I hope they sort out the problems soon. Good luck with finding some!
