Merlin, Thanks for your reply. I am taking already about 2-2 1/2 mg. Mirapex a day now. And once was taking 5mg selegline 2x/day, 100 mg Symmetrel 2x/day also. Now I cut down to half of that. How much sinemet were you taking before you got off? I'd love to be able to get off it, but a little afraid that the rest won't do the trick.
