I take more than a dozen vitamins and supplements and I am tempted to add a new old safe drug But what is your personal experience after 44 months of use? Why you still believe in it?

All I can provide is my own experience, which is informed by a lifetime of observing PD in my own family and a career of teaching and research as a non-MD medical school/graduate school faculty member in the area of biochemistry and molecular biology.
In addition to generic Sinemet (carbidopa/levodopa) and coenzyme Q10, I take 3.5-5 mg of dextromethorphan every night just before bedtime, usually about 11:00 PM. This is 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoon of an over-the-counter pediatric cough preparation containing 7.5 mg of DM per 5 ml (teaspoon). It is available at many grocery stores and most pharmacies in the USA.

Here is link to the LDN sticky on our MS Forums. There are many members on it. It follows their progress and helps answer questions. There are links to a compounding pharmacy that may be help with questions.
