you aren't taking that much sinemet, why not just increase the dosage? you can buy the 250mg tabs, split them and take 125mg 3-4 times a day. i think their cost isn't a lot greater than the 25/100.

My wife looked into Teva discount, but it is apparently tied to state aid (Medicaid Indiana) qualification. I'm not eligible--by about $200/mo too much "income"--SSDI and 20% VA disability.
I tried selegilene (deprenyl)--had to stop due to side effects. As for the sinemet, I've increased & decreased over the years, since 1996 at age 34. Not too long ago, I cut back due to bad dyskenesia.
Thanks very much.
