If you have the DBS what medicine and dosage do you take
Thanks. I appreciate your great insight.
If I totally pulverize stalevo will it pass through my system faster?
I take mine with a teaspoon of jelly, or cottage cheese. Seldom have any issue.
I am taking Stalevo 4 times a day. It seems to improve episodes of stiffness in legs. I sleep better with light dreams. My problems is I take this every 5 hours and almost like clockwork, around the 4th hour I start to have withdrawal symptoms. I become light headed, nauseous, breathing becomes rapid and I feel like passing out. My doctor told me to take 1/2 or 1 whole carbidopa/levodopa tablet when that happens.

I am reluctant to change as it does work well, has any else experienced this and have any advice?
If the stalevo is still making you feel sickly you could try adding domperidone to mix. It's very effective at dealing with nausea.

Hi - my mom went on rytary 95 3xs a day in May of 2015. We noticed a big decline in cognitive - not being able to do simple tasks, confusion etc...over the summer. We have been working with a movement disorder specialist since October and have gotten her off all blood pressure meds and next week she will be off axilect.

Stalevo has been a great choice for me.
My husband was prescribed Azilect, and it made him nauseated and gave him headaches. We took him off of it, and now he is more tired. It would be helpful to understand what medications have proven helpful and which have not. And also whether or not the side effects outweighed the benefits.
