Just seeing this. I also take 2 sinemet every two hours. It does vary and is sometimes slightly less and decreases in the evening, but for the morning and up to the evening I usually need this much. If I don't, I get not only off, but dystonia - the very lowest of the symptoms which hurts and makes me extremely depressed.
Doctors who make statements like this and pass pwp off to psychiatrists should be threatened with malpractice. They should be required to take "practicums" , just like teachers are, with disease specific populations and learn it inside out. They only know the outside, and not very well, which makes them imcompetent.
Damnit - excuse me; I am supposed to be working on my spirituality. Visions of busting white collar criminal researchers and shooting doctors for stupid statements set me back a bit.
