Have increased my coffee intake from 1 cup in the mornings to 2-3 cups throughout the day and am also exercising more lately. Will be consulting with my MDS about lowering my meds next appointment in January. Did try lowering by 1/2 pill
for a few days and I seemed to be doing fine with it. Noticed I didn't get as sleepy when I lowered it. At this point would rather have a little stiffness & tremor than the dyskinesia. Also take 1 sinemet 50/200 ER at night, but I seem to get real itchy after about 2 hours after taking. I wonder if it could be a reaction to the dye in it.

RECENTLY i READ A STUDY WHICH EXPLAINED HOW DYSKINESA STARTS
It is called a priming process that occurs at abot 600 to 800 mg.Once this priming occurs there is no going back.Ma
I myself was taking about 600 25?100 and started a 50/200 sr just before the dyskinesa started.So I was at 800 just like the study stated.This blew by a MD doc and it could have been avoided.
Dyskinesa risks and therapy should be a number one proiorty. We have a serious illness and we dont need one thats worse.
