Bumping this up from a year ago.
This thread ties in with recent posts on:
- levodopa equivalent dose;
- the need to consider the graph of LED for each minute of a dose's "life";
- the advantage of using long lasting drugs, such as rasagiline and controlled release ropinirole and, to a lesser extent, Rytary, to form a baseline load. Immediate release levodopa can then be used to smooth out the peaks and troughs.
- measurement of bradykinesia.
