I agree it does seem unusual, I definitely have a good response to carbo/levo, it just doesn't seem to last that long. I have tried to slowly back down a couple times, more out of couriousity than anything, and my symptoms were much worse. I agree with you about the agonists, and as far as the azilect, I have been getting free samples for a year and a half, but that is coming to an end and I cant afford it, so it is going to go away. Have you had dyskinesia, if so how soon, and does it sound familiar with what I was describing. Thank you
