Hi Charles, Against facts there is no arguments...There are old hands in this list that take Sinemet for a long time and found it was the better choice since then as for ex. Brian and others.If I were you I would check with at the least 3 other specialists and then judge. Meanwhile I wish your doctor find the best solution for your case.Let us know.
