I would also ask whether or not any of your neurologists have discussed this with you and what their views are on it. My pwp's neurologist is thinking seriously of prescribing the Neupro Patch for her, but wants to titrate her off her other "meds"(small dose Sinemet 25/100 t.i.d./comtan, 200 mg. w/each Sinemet/Cogentin)before starting with the patch. I'd appreciate any input that you may have about this.
Thank you...

I take 8 25/100 sinemet and one 6mg/24hr patch a day. I like the patch better than selegiline? or ReQuip?. which I have tried. I recommend titrate up or down with these medicines. No cold turkey stuff. I now get my patches from Europe. Some have crystals. No ill effects.
