Good thinking Lindy, yes I have. As far as I can gather from my records, I was using 50mg tablets of Sinamet up to 1st May this year, then switched to Stavelo. I think that ties in roughly to the increase in dyskinesia.
I had tried Stavelo before, but did not like the lack of control over the amount of entacapone I was getting. If I rememer correctly, entacapone has a reputation for increasing dyskinesia
I fly to Scotland for a week, at the end of next week, so I won't be able to keep posting.
