agree wholeheartedly! thanks folks!

To give you an idea of what we mean, i think, i'll say "i've been trying to get back to as close to a 1000mg of levodopa a day as possible and still be on. You have to work at it but I'm pretty happy and convinced that it ain't over till we let it be.

Imad you are right. Just fill the prescription; but you are titrating up from very low right? You will know when you feel maximum benefit and don't have to take all of them if you feel great on 4? It's up to you to decide now. It's not an agonist, but you could start as low as 1/2 twice a day - low dose. Just thoughts that come to mind. Good luck and please let us know what you think of sinemet/levodopa should you decide to take it.

it's a tough decision.
