Hello Andre & Ida. I have a suggestion that you might like to try to help
determine whether you are 'on' or'off'. If you have a browse through the file
which you will find at the URL address given below, you will see that it is
a user guide for people who wish to use my program to help with taking Sinemet-
style tablets in the optimum configuration. It is entirely up to you as to
whether you try the program but what I wanted to suggest was that if you use
the recording method which I describe therein it should be relatively easy to
work out roughly what is going on. and whether you are over or under medicated
