i purchased a bike after trying last year's model out at a store. bought this year's model and had it assembled there and tried it out, worked fine. next morning, got help to carry it from my car into the house. started using it and it was awful. really jerky, couldn't get comfortable. puzzled, had someone else try it and they had no problems. figured out i was under medicated at the moment. when i tried it out at the store, i had timed my meds to be at their max and the next morning, hadn't taken anything before getting on the bike. took my 200mg sinemet and the jerkiness went away. really like it.

i still try to take the minimum meds i need to function, and that's 200-400mg sinemet and 5-10mg selegilene but there are days i don't take anything, just foolish but i guess i'n trying to extend their effectiveness and psychologically reluctant to totally mask my symptoms. when off, terrible mental fatigue and i have difficulty initiating that 1st step. when on, i.e. taking meds, nearly normal.
