i don't get it,everyone is different. you might not get dyskenesias on sinemet. there's a new formulation of sinemet coming out that supposedly reduces dyskinesia from IMPAX.

can't understand trading a continuing lower quality of life, especially when there might be some definitive proof that forced exercise might help symptoms and reduce med needs, out of fear of dyskinesias. my philosophy is take the least sinemet i can, exercise, stay healthy, and get ready to jump when something better than sinemet comes out but why be miserable, you could get hit by a truck tomorrow? i was diagnosed in 2001, i'm 56, take 600mg a day and no dyskinesia, nada. taking 600mg of an amino acid when likely less than 1% gets to your brain? yet one likely ingest grams of meat or vegetable protein, made up of amino acids, everyday. something to think about. just my unsolicited opinion.
