Advice & Tips
It makes the symptons of Parkinson go away and gives one a whole new lease on life. I had it with chemo treatment and for four years thought it was the chemo and arthristis and spinal stenosis, etc., stalevo made all the side effects go away. I pray it doesn't wear off or I become conditioned to it. At 76 now it really doesn't matter, but sure has made my life so much better.

Advice & Tips
Take it on time, in general, but you can adjust the timing a little bit now and then to cover special occasions. For instance, I take my last dose about a half an hour later than usual on the nights that I have my dance class.

Advice & Tips
I absolutely cannot take more than half the prescribed lowest dosage due to projectile vomiting. I was given this in replacement of Carabadopa Levidopa combo which is a medication that should be removed from the market. The side effects of the caridopa-levidopa were worse than I could have ever imagined.. My on of time went for 6 hours down to less than half an hour with a week. I was constantly falling whille walking.
