I think all of us PWPs feel comfortable enough with our own experiences to offer suggestions without feeling that we are prating medicine. 6 months ago I was taking 25/100 Sinemet 5x/day (1/2 tablet) as well as eldepryl and when I experienced quite a bit of dyskinesia, my neuro promptly put me on permax and I was able to reduce my sinemet a little bit. I think we all should be careful about jumping into new medications because the side-effects are often so horrendous, but someone as unhappy as you sound should have the opportunity to try some of the new things out there. I would discuss this again with my neuro and if he doesn't have good reasons for not trying the new medications, I would try a new neuro. I hope this helps
