Zolpidem 10 mg
Oxycodone 5mg
Azilect 1mg

Im not sure how often she takes most but i do know she take the carb/levo every 3 - 3.5 hours. She used to be able to take the immediate release less often until the stomach problems started.
I don't know enough about all of these drugs to say one way or the other about any of them individually or in combination, so I'd suggest asking a good pharmacist, they are incredibly knowledgeable and usually very helpful. They, more than the docs, seem to know most about drugs, side effects, combinations, etc. I've actually asked a pharmacist what drug could be taken for this or that instead of what is currently being taken and gotten a drug recommendation, then told the doc that's what we wanted to try and he scripted it. It's imiportant to have a doc who's willing to be educated and open to suggestions, of course. This approach can save a lot of time "trying" a spectrum of drugs that may or may not work for a particular person.
