I ordered some online, Nature's Way also and got it in mail today. I am going to start tomorrow and will let you know how I am feeling.

I was on a two-hour leash when I started this trial. I was maxed out on Requip at 24 mg. Officially I was taking 700 mg of Sinemet but "unofficially" was closer to 1000 mg. And I was still having a daily struggle with OFFs and freezing. And my blood pressure was a constant worry, especially with the OFFs and the stress.
Yesterday, I took 900 mg of Sinemet and 8 mg of Requip and had a pretty good day. Had a few OFFs but they were shorter and almost FREEZE-FREE! Today I am on a three-hour schedule and have cut the skullcap to every other time because my blood pressure was getting too low.
Most interestingly, I know this may be illusion, but I swear that it feels like I am healing. It is hard to put into words, but it feels as though positive things are happening inside. There is a definite sense of relaxation and well being.
I am using a Nature's Way product that has 850 mg of "stem, leaf, and fruit" of Scutellaria lateriflora
I know that there are a lot of empty chairs around this table these days and, while I don't begrudge sharing with the new faces, it's going to be pretty damned ironic if this really is this good but too late to help the "old timers." Sigh...
