Diagnosed 10 years ago. Presently taking 1 1/2 tablets of Carbidopa/Levodopa 25/100 every 2 to 2.5 hours. I take this from the time I wake, around 5am to bedtime around midnight. I often wake up in the night and have to take one more dose. Additionally, I take a Mirapex ER 1.5 twice a day in the morning and evening. My off times come on me very quickly and my on times very slowly.
Things that help... I have found that drinking aloe vera seems to help... there's a lot of theories why but, who knows for sure. I have also found that when I have a particularly stressful day ahead, I self administer a vitamin B12 shot.

To give you the jist.
We have just had my fathers dosage of dopa reduced from a large overdosing of 1500-2000 a day to 1000mg a day.
I would like to ask a few questions of everyone here, as currently he is on a tablet of 62.5 sinemets every hour of the day.
His on periods are about 20% of the day, obviously as noted from my other thread there must be an adjustment period back to baseline.
However I thought I would ask what are others Parkinson's tablets regimes.
How much do you take, and in what tablets, what forms?
How often in the day? Every hour, every two, three? And how much on each?
Would be a much appreciated reply
Thanks
