What I have noticed is that I suspect that the Entacapone in the Stalevo seems to stretch it out, and I go off a bit faster than usual, at the end of the day, and I do get some dyskensia, from the Stalevo, but it doesnt last as long..A half teaspoon does it for me, and Im good for the day..I have never gone off in the middle off the day when I do take it, even when I take my Stalevo late..When I am out in the boat I tend to lose track of the time, and have taken my Stalevo 2 hours late a few times, without going off..Without mucuna I would never get away with being that late inbetween doses..I'd be a statue within 30 minutes
