HI, Here in Australia it is called Cabaser when I started I only took half what the neuro said with step ups at twice the interval. I am very concerned about hitting the brain with too much meds. I started with a daytime dose of 1/2 going to 4mg. It was only giving mild relief. I have had PD over 20 yrs and had DBS in STN 2 sides in 1997. 18 months ago the doctor put me in hospital for observation and altered my meds He put me on Cabaser 4 mg at 8pm plus Sinemet cr. and it seemed to have no benefit. Then on the morning of the 18th day I awoke and was in 'on' mode and could walk with ease for 1-2 hours.Patience is needed. Then he added 2mg at 8 am while saying it was an 18 hr medication. After a few weeks a got dyskinesia after 3 pm. Lately started getting dyskinesia as early as 8-9am. I have been playing with the intake of Cabaser for a few weeks. What I have found is that the dyskinesia is not a symptom of PD but a side effect of over dose of drugs. I have reduced my 8 pm dose from 4mg to 2mg .I now still wake up "ON" but my day time dyskinesia seems to be a lot less during the last 10 days The trade off for me is too stiff vs too loose (dyskinesia) Regards, Barry Black sage ----- From: "Roberta Innarella" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask] CA> Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 9:39 AM Subject: Cabergoline > Anyone out there in cyberspace know the titration schedule for Cabergoline? > I haven't given up the thought of trying it yet.
