Thanks for your reply, reverett123. Yes, I did the titration down, but maybe not slowly enough. Although I said in my original post that "bad" dyskinesia days are "fairly rare for me", I'm thinking that I misspoke. I should have said that it's fairly rare for them to be so severe and last so long, especially when I don't take the entirety of my prescribed doses--25/100 reg sinemet (3-4x/day) and 25/100 xr sinemet (3-4x/day). When I actually do take the prescribed doses, the end of the day is terribly dyskinetic for maybe 2-4 hrs.
I guess about all I (WE) can do is just ride them out. Alcohol (TOO MUCH) is really the only thing that settles me down. Of course, WE all know that alcohol is NOT exactly a "good" solution. I hate it and love it at the same time. Many thanks.
