I avoided Sinemet for five years, Requip helped well enough alone. Then I added Amantadine, and LOVED the effect for over a year. Then finally I added Sinemet a year ago, and then I stopped Amantadine because it stopped helping.

I've always taken as few meds. as possible. I don't get headaches, so have needed few.

I can't tolerate more than 8.5 mg Requip per day, and if I take more than one and a half Sinemet pill (25/100) per day my symptoms get worse, not better.

I can't decide if my intolerance to greater amounts of medicine is a detriment, or if the small amounts I need to help are an advantage????
