I to do not like taking drugs and often complain about the bother....but, I've had PD 13 yrs (51/13) and I'm still working full time. With out Sinimet I would not have worked for at least the last 10 yrs. I always walk that thin line between enough and not enough. I do understand the frustration of taking med. that seems to do no good. Stress is very hard us, so let's not add any to our lives over inconsequential things.
