So sorry Budgies-My intention was'nt to make you feel worse, I apologise if thats the case. As John pointed out in his post the Agonist class are so slow to settle that problems due to either up/down adjustments take a while so that is why I feel positive . Plus I know of a case involving someone close to me (I must do a thread on this) who had been on levodopa and ropinirole for 10y who had her meds suddenly stopped by her crazy,arrogant husband !
She recovered to the point where a visiting Geriatrician was'nt sure she had Parki's.....but boy did he back-track when he saw the family's jaws drop.

Have you tried Parkinson uk helpline open to everyone, they might have something to offer
0808 800 0303 I think
