Dear Anna, The generic names are ; Levadopa + Selegiline + Dopamin antagonist ( Dopergin ) He stopped using Selegiline and Dopergin and started using Amantadine instead. He often had duedenum dyskinesia and he was describing the feeling saying that a belt was squeezing his stomach right under his ribs. This new medication didin't help him much though. It just relieved his morning cramps completely.
