Re: Stalevo

I am a new member.  Had symptoms since 2000, and am still on low doses
of Cinemet, etc.  Last year my neurologist put me on Stalevo, and I
did not like it.  I felt that it didn't work as well as Cinemet, even
tho it's supposed to have some extra ingredient.  I did feel more
stiff, jittery, and I got hot flashes.

I was only on it for a few weeks.  I called the Dr. and got myself
back on the regular stuff.

Not too much scientific info, but since you asked, here is another one
for whom Stalevo didn't work.

Enjoy!
