sure it will help but it will be very expensive. two drugs that will hopefully shorten off times and bypass digestive system problems are two unapproved drugs sublingual apomorphine and inhaled l-dopa. i would assume eating a lot of protein would still cause an OFF with the accordian pill but probably wouldn't last as long. depends how long the amino acids stay in the blood which would affect getting l-dopa THRU the BBB.


LOOKS like the accordian pill dose is three times a day.
SO ASSUME A MONTH'S SUPPLY IS $800/MONTH, 90 PILLS. THAT WOULD COST $8-9/PILL? WONDER HOW CLINICAL trial results compare to RYTARY.
