These are my dailies -
4-6 mg dextromethorphan (currently via Children's Pedia Care cough medicine)at bedtime;
2X50/200 mg carbi/levodopa (generic Sinemet)CR, plus 1/2 25/100 carbi/levo each morning and afternoon with CR (a total of 75/500 mg carbi/levodopa);
3X300 mg CoQ10;
100 mg amantadine;
Shaklee super multivitamins/minerals (spouse is a distributor);
500 mg C;
400 units E;
600 mg N-acetyl cysteine
400 mg acetyl-l-carnitine
200 mg alpha lipoic acid
occasional red panax ginseng tea
The last four were added in the last year.
No significant progression in 6 years, except for onset about 2 years ago of early AM "shuffle-steps" which disappear after carbi/levodopa kicks in.
I think the dextromethorphan (48 mos.) and CoQ10 (60 mos.) are most responsible for any slowing/preventing symptom progression.
