Hi Jeff. Yes, stopping Sinemet seems to be what did it. She weaned herself off of it gradually, and the diskinesia stayed with her all the way until she stopped completely and for a bit afterwards. The only med she has tried since Sinemet is the Neupro patch (which she started immediately after quitting Sinemet), and she suffered no diskinesia from that. Since Neupro has been pulled from the market, however, she's been on zero meds. Her PD syptoms are controlled by the DBS.
