Thank You, Carey
..."better late than never", Carey!!! Thank you so much for your response. It has given us more "food for thought" and certainly, it gives Amantadine a "plus".
My question now is whether it is controlling both the tremor AND the dyskinesia(s)...certainly, it must be the Amantadine that has so controlled the dyskinesia(s). As for the tremor, it's not certain. It was originally prescribed by Doreen's "neuro" for the tremor but it SEEMS to have been more effective in treating the dyskinesia(s). Based on this, then, I wonder if a reduction in her Sinemet dosage could be brought about by the additional 3rd dose of Amantadine thus lessening the possibiity(probability) of Sinemet-induced dyskinesia(s). It seems like a "catch 22" situation...and we MAY be looking for too much, here, i.e., control of both the tremor AND the dyskinesia(s) which almost seems like we're looking for a "miracle"...and before I go any further, I think I should conclude this because, as I re-read what I've written, I think only I could understand what it is I've attempted to say!!! IF, by chance, anyone IS able to make any sense of what I've said, I would appreciate your thoughts. I certainly appreciate, so much, all your responses...and so does Doreen. Please keep them coming if there is anything else that occurs to you that you feel could be helpful. Right now, a psychiatrist might come to mind!!!
Thank you...
Therese
