(carol gray/ 19 yrs) My neurologist wanteed me initially to start out slowly and increse to 3 mg. and cut back on sinemet, but I was never able to effectively cut back. I am hoping to have better results with the new medication whenever my neurologist gets me started. (hopefully next month) texas.roadrunner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
