Hi...can anyone advise me.I know I should be asking my neurologist,but am months overdue for my appointment and need to see him...meanwhile can anyone tell me what the highest dose of ROPINAROLE and SINEMET might be.;
present dose is;
2 ROPINAROLE X 4 PER DAY
1 SINEMET X 4 PER DAY
1 SINEMET CR X 1 PER DAY.

I am clearly not managing now,finding that I am increasingly having to pop an extra dose most days and my OFF periods are becoming more frequent.

Strangely,I am finding also,that whereas previously,the succession of doses kept me fairly mobile throughout the day,now,even if I think I am dosing in plenty of time,I become immobile just after taking my medication.This lasts about 3/4 hour.

I guess I have been on Sinemet for about 4 years.

Am I close to the maximum dose yet?
Is there another drug I might move onto yet before surgery,or is there a drug which can maximise the dose that I am on,making it more effective?

Guess I`m coming to you guys,before hearing it from the neuro.You`ll have a gentler way of breaking any glum news...lol

Thanks
