Default levodopa

As you are probably aware what works for some may not work for you. I too had increasing dyskinsia with requip, unable to titrate my levodopa down enough to get it right. Remember an agonist is supposed to kind of boost your levodopa effects. I had good results with comtan, a COMT inhibitor. It helps. the dopamine that you have (levodopa or otherwise) no be broken down as fast so it will last longer. I currently am taking 1 1/4 tablets, that difference in 1/4 and 1/2 are real but I didn't think so at first. Good luck.
