and 3 xanax - all throughout the evening with less sinemet. my neuro has just added klonopin. this is a wonderfully calming addition and my lips do not disappear from sinemet grinding. myspeech has improved. klonopin isa muscle relaxant. i feel better .

my point is i have no dyskinesia at all from 1600 to 1800 mg of sinemet every day, i am calm and the klonopin has elimintated much of the mouth and facial dyskinesia. i take no agonists, me to drugs or drug combinations, no MAO inhibiors, no CR no other dosage. i feel good. now if my leg would just mend.
DOES ANYONE ELSE TRY THIS PROTOCoL? SINEMET IS NOT THE PROBLEM,,,,IT;S EVERYTHING WE ADD TO IT. AT LEAST FOR ME. WE NEED MORE TO PUT ON THE BRAKES, NOT OVERFIRE THEM Imho.
