- Advice/Tips
- Reduces left hand tremor by 90%, other PDs symptoms are reduced by 50% to 90%. If I reduce dosage to 2000 mg/day, symptoms worsen within one week. Increasing back to 6000 mg/day again reduces symptoms to previous low levels, within five days. Football-shaped tabs are large, and must be swallowed quickly. Otherwise, they swell up in water, and taste like wood. I take them with food to reduce chance of upset stomach.
