Dysks are very bad for me, doctor called it "Ballistic Dyskinesia". My feet and legs are bloody from hitting them against everything. violent and debillitating

Still got it just not super bad.

I still got to go to 400mg a day - 200 mg now

I read it quits effectivenes after 1 year. true in your experience?

Love to get out and do a little hunting - rifle and pistol shooting this summer

Haven't been outside in about 2 years - save for 2 doctors visits.

i've been on it for 8 or 9 years and am rigid without it. i take about 1600 mg of sinemet per day. 2 25/100 every two hours. it works.
