I continue to experience improved med response and better sleep. I also have a great improvement in bowel function. Also, problems with prostate swelling have been reduced by half.

I should add that starting about three weeks ago (or about a week before starting D3) I, with my neuro's approval, dropped Requip from my regimen when it proved to be causing my dyskinesia. I had been taking it for ten years and was maxxed out at 24 mg per day, so I expected a bumpy ride. I upped my sinemet to the 1200 to 1400 mg range from the 800 to 1000 range and dropped the Requip to 800 mg the first week and, not having any noticeable problems, zeroed it out in week two. I have experienced no withdrawal symptoms at all that I can tell.
