Answering your question Soccertese. I had an appointment with a new neuro, since my previous neurologist went to a pharmaceutical company and stopped practicing. The neurologist asked if my quality of life is affected, the answer of cause was yes (as for all of us to a different degree). She suggested to try a low amount of sinemet. But during the discussion she changed her mind to rytary due to the fact that I am levodopa naive, so I don't have to do another medication switch later on.
After 7 days I feel better and see some benefits. Though I think I am experiencing wearing off effect: in the evening I am getting very stiff and tight. I did not take sinemet and can not compare.
