Hello. What is your name? Question 1 Reply. No advice, but I can tell you that my wife took Sinemet on as "as needed" basis for about five years before any dyskinesia set in. Question 2 Reply. No advice, again, but another anecdote: My wife has taken daily curcumin (either straight or in curry) on her food (she likes the taste, so doesn't use capsules) for about six months. We have a friend who's taken it regularly (in capsules) for years. People in India have eaten it almost daily for centuries in curry. I'm going to start taking it myself regularly.
