PD diagnosed from 2007. From 2010 I started with Madopar. but from about six months I have changed a neurologist, and he told me to take Stalevo, like Sinemet, but there is also entacapone, which is to last longer, the levels of l-dopa in the blood. In any case I prefer Madopar, because I can adjust the dose in a better way (as written by lindylanka above). Moreover, Stalevo does pee fluorescent!? However, until now, no side effects, it seems. Still honeymoon.
By the way, how long on average for honeymoon ?
