I am in the same camp as Rick. Felt my best on Sinemet monotherapy and going to try to stop Requip XL very slowly. I've already come down from 12 mg to 8 mg and now get sleepy at a normal hour.
You should start a poll...you may be on to something here. I have a young onset friend (very young only 32) who had dyskinesia when on azilect and mirapex. None on Sinemet alone. Has it now again on Requip and Sinemet.
Incidentally, I recently read that PWP before the introduction of carbidopa had ti endure megadoses of levodopa...some up to 9000 mg per day! Can you imagine? Side effects were dyskinesia and increased libido...gee I guess so!
