Advice & Tips
Works qucik, about 20 minutes but lasts just an hour to asn hour and a half. I get 2 1/1 to 3 hours on the generic LDOPA 25/100.
I get maximum benefit when i double up in the morning with PARCOPA and my LDOPA 25/100 CR.
Would like to increase my dose back to 50/200.

3. Generic LDOPA 25/100 *DR Jill changed this order to brand name only
4. Generic LDOPA CR 50/200 *DR Jill changed this order to brand name only
5. Neupro (Patch) I did very well on the patch and then they pulled it off the market.
