Sinemet Reviews
Working / Worked
So far the only thing that has really relieved my symptoms. However, now I am starting to develop dyskinesias at optimal therapeutic dose, so my MDS has added the Mirapex to try to compensate.

Using generic leva/carbidopa 3+ yrs now; not as good as Stalevo (which seems smoother/less drastic 'off' times), but with no insurance I just can't afford Stalevo anymore. NO side effects noticed, except that there is one generic manufacturer's version makes me nauseous, but only that one version! Different binders/color? who knows...
