Dear Scott, Thanks very much for your message. I am just starting Sinemet, but thinking about going off it and switching to Mirapex to try avoiding dyskinesia as long as I can. I am sorry Neupro was taken off the market, if it was helping your wife. Please tell her that her experience has helped me. All the best to you both, Jeff Scott E. Antes wrote: > Hi Jeff.
