Day 7?
I continue to be impressed. 400mg ginsng in morning and 500 mg royal jelly in evening after last sinemet has had a headstart. Still having a tendency to go Off at midday but remember that when I started this I was almost unable to walk most of the day. And I am on until 11:00 PM or so from a last dose of meds around 6:00.
The ginseng effect has smoothed out a little and is discernable for two to four hours after taking. The RJ lasts about the same and seems to make me feel overmedicated. I intend to taper back on meds but have been too busy to do so. That in itself says a lot. I couldn't leave the blamed house a few days in the week preceding this!
I still intend this to be a longterm experiment, but this shortterm effect is a big surprise.
