thank you very much. He takes stalevo 31.25-125 (200 mg) 4 x a day plus a carbidopa/levo extended release 50/200 at bedtime. Formerly he was on sinemet 4 x a day. His freezing episodes and inability to move/walk well began a couple/months ago. We have discussed this with his physician, but he made no changes when he was last seen. He also takes amantadine 100 mg 2x a day. He has had digestive issues for some time and uses a stool softener which helps tremendously as well as Miralax on an as-needed basis. His general practitioner prescribed nexium for his indigestion and it helps somewhat. We are wondering if the stalevo has simply become ineffective and we were curious if others had perhaps had the same experience. His muscles are very tight and his body is rigid. Movement is extremely difficult.
