Rebecca,
Excessive or inadequate depends on the person and how advance the PD is.
For someone who has had PD about 10 years, it looks about right. Some
progress faster than others. We have one from our support group who has
cut back to only 17 Sinemet per day. We have a couple of people who take no
Sinemet at all.

Dear Listmembers,
After a recent hospital stay my medication was greatly increased. A PWP
friend told me today she thought it sounded excessive. What do you
think?
Here is my schedule:
4am 50/200 CR sinemet
6am 1/2 of 25/250 sinemet
9am 1/2 of 25/250
2 .25 mg permax ( .5mg )
10am 50/200 CR sinemet
12pm 1/2 of 25/250 sinemet
2pm 2 permax
3pm 1/2 of 25/250 sinemet
4pm 50/200 CR sinemet
6pm 1/2 of 25/250 sinemet
9pm 150 mg doxapin
1/2 of 25/250 sinemet
50/200 CR sinemet
2 permax
I take propulsid 3 x a day (this is new)
And lorazipam as needed
We'd appreciate any thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Rebecca Hudson
