new and frustrated

[Debra Sutton <nhisimage@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!  I have been symptomatic for 3 years or so and was diagnosed with PD a year 
ago.  I can't believe how much my life has, and still is changing.  I see a 
good local neurologist, and I also see a specialist at Duke University Medical 
Center.  I started on Selegiline, 5mg 1xday when I was diagnosed.  I also 
started on Requip and the dose was slowly titrated up over several months. At 
3mg  3xday  I was still battling the tremors, stiffness and slowness.  I wasn't 
functioning at a very high level, but I was also so overwhelmed by the wretched 
side effects of the Reuip (nausea, fatigue and drowsiness) that I just couldn't 
handle any more.  I made the decision with my doctor at to start on Sinemet CR 
25/100.  That has been titrated up to 1 tablet 3xday and we are holding there.  
I still walk like
