I took 1 and 1/2 of 25/250 mg tablets of Levadopa carbadopa 4 times a day plus 2 Amantadine for the last 4 yrs. I've had PD for almost 8 yrs now. I had Deep Brain stimulation in December 2016. I have been able to decrease my dosage so far by 2 pills, you may be thinking that's not much but it is. I basically have no tremors and we are still in the process of tweeting my DBS system. My Levadopa carbadopa was at a maximum dosage I was beginning to have terrible dyskinesia in my neck. So praise God it is helping and I am so thankful. God bless. Praying for a cure! DBS is not a cure just helps symptoms.

Lots of medicine. But glad you are doing ok. Constipation seems to be a big part of PD. I have this issue also.
