selegiline
 

j have been taking Levadopa for 5 years and need to raise the dose due to progressive rigidity.I have a mild case of Dyskinesa,so raising the dose is not advisable.My doctor recommended adding Selegiline as the agonists cause too many side effects.I would like to know other peoples experience when adding Selegiline to Levadopa

I was originally prescribed Mirapex .5mg, but can't tolerate any gerater dose, so the neuro added Selegiline and I haven't had any trouble with it. Now I take Mirapex & Selegiline three times a day, and now Sinemet five times a day and so far, so good. Other than a bit of fatigue, this regimen seems to work well for me.

Good luck!

I started taking Selegiline about 3 months ago. I has increased my on time about 2 hrs per dose of Levadopa. I have been able to decrease my doses of Levadopa from 6 per day to 4 per day.:)
