Hi Jeanette , Two short coments : 1/ There are several list members that use levedopa (Sinemet) for many years without major problems since they were dx with PD. 2/ There are for sure guarantees that the use of Permax, or other meds , would'n cause even worse side effects in the long run than the use of Sinemet ??
