I am often not in a position to be able to mix the elixir when I need it. SO something has to be done about that. Therefore I was unable to use it every time I took a dose.

Second, it's definitely effective against the PD symptoms but my dose (4g + 1/2 tab of sinemet + 1/2 tab of mirapex) made me totally high, and wobbely, like I was on uppers. Same feeling I had when I accidently took two doses of my meds. Therefore, I will try a smaller amount.

However, it seems to be effective more quickly (15-20min) the regular meds (30-45min).
