That was more than 10 years ago.
My current anti-PD regimen is 1 25/100 immediate release carbi/levo plus 1 50/200 CR carbi/levo daily at 5-hr intervals. That adds up to a total of 900mg carbi/levo daily, but actually less, since the CR part is probably only 60-70% absorbed.
I also take 100mg amantadine and 300mg ubiquinol. I still believe in dextromethorphan, which I take 3.5-4mg of faithfully each night at bedtime.
I continue to progress slowly, with DK present but not uncontrollable.
Early mornings, pre-meds, and late evenings, after 10pm are most troublesome. Festination and postural instability at "off" times. Freezing and falls not currently a problem.
Dependable "on" time is about 16 hours, allowing regular 1-mile walks with the dog, mowing 1/4 acre lawn each week, and pretty much unlimited mobility while on.
Bottom line, I'm currently pretty satisfied with my situation.
