What is the point ? Parachutes are used as additional breaking to slow dragsters down but you wouldn't go racing just with the parachute, they only work in conjunction with the car

no. That's my second opinion 😄

Nourianz is not Carbidopa/Levadopa. It’s an antagonist meant to be taken in conjunction with C/L to help with off times.

If you’re unable to take the C/L I don’t see the point. That would be my question: “What’s the point?”

Oh goodness, you certainly don't want to go back on C/L. My husband's neurologist suggested he try Nourianz since he was having some walking issues. Insurance company denied as it's on a higher tier. He doesn't have any tremors and this drug supposedly helps with tremors.

We have different insurance now, so I might investigate this again.
