Why was your husband off Sinemet?

>Someone on this list put an address on for natural dopamine and I jumped...Bottom line is that he is about 40% better after 5 months...He was on a very conservative dose of Sinemet 2 (25/100) per day.

Perhaps I'm reading this incorrectly, but after 9 years why was he on
such a low dose? As far as I know, the initial dosage for a 'newly'
diagnosed PWP starting levodopa therapy is three 25/100 pills a day.
