Advice & Tips
Stalevo is strong, yet one has to not overdo it. That's what I think I did. Taking Madopar HBS starts less strong so I expect less shaking legs, and stays longer in the blood, so I expect to have less trouble in the night.

Advice & Tips
I had a very positive experience with this treatment. The reason I am off this medication is that I am starting a clinical trial and need to stay on sinemet. I am not doing as well as I was when I was taking Stalevo plus Sinemet. Walking, cramps on my right calf and foot to the point I cannot take a step without pain

Dizziness (vertigo)
Date
Dec 13, 2009
Advice & Tips
At this time the side effects (loss of appetite, dizzyness and drymouth) outweighed the benefits (better arm swing and reduction of leg tremor). I will wait until the benefits are greater. I am doing well with structured exercise classes specifically designed for PD patients.
