David,
    Go figure.  virtually NO dyskinesia!!!   As of this week I'm on
maintenance;  my neurologist can raise or lower Sinemet in 2 weeks, but I'm
doing well.   I've been diagnosed for 13 years.   My worry is that the S
will start to cut out and it won't make any difference how much I take.
Not as many options as I really want.   What about your Sinemet dosages?
Everyone is different with this.
