You say that she does not have ons and offs. This suggests to me that she is still producing dopamine, but in insufficient quantities to be "normal". A good sign of this is whether she wakes up feeling good.

Hi John, thanks so much for your reply! I'm not sure exactly what dose she has taken, but I know that she has made a few attempts at different doses. I will have to get back to you on that. Sorry for the slow reply -- I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old so my free time is in short supply.
It's just strange because she said she doesn't really feel any different whether she's on or off the meds. I'll follow up on your questions next time I speak with her.
Thanks again.
