Default 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.
