Works for my stomach

just realized that it takes 4 hours to enter your system. I didn't take it until 11 pm and up all night with restlessness throughout.

Definitely helps with the slowness and the mood issues. Doesn't help with balance, freezing, cognitive, tremor.....

The Dr started me on a very low dose. I thought it was helping until I had a sleep study which showed I kicked and moved my legs 37 times an hour most of the night. I then saw the Dr again for an increase in dose. I now take 1mg each night and can go to 2mg if I need to. So far I have taken the 1mg . The other important thing I learned is to not wait till bedtime to take it. It wont help till about 0400. I now take it 13 hours before bed and it seems to work at bedtime.
