Thanks for your answer, John. I have considered a smaller more frequent dose but I'm trying so many different things to improve my PD symptoms that I just haven't got to that yet. I'll think more about it - it would probably make a difference more rapidly than diet or exercise.

Right now I take 1.25 mg of Mirapex three times a day and 1.3 tabs of levodopa/carbidopa 100/25 every three hours. Except for my last dose at 7:00 pm when I've cut back to 1.0 mg and 1.0 tab to try to reduce the early evening dyskinesia which is the worst

What would you suggest as a trial of a smaller dose? I' very aware you're not a Dr but you must have tried this for yourself and I'd appreciate hearing about what you did and how it worked out.
