Glad they finally figured it out Scott!

On a note here, Levodopa is simply the active ingredient. We make a product for one of our partners called Parcopa that has both Levodopa and Carbidopa in it. If that's what you're on now and it is an orally disintegrating tablet, we make it.

That's what it is. CARB/LEVO ER TAB 25/100. Generic for Sinemet.
I imagine Parcopa is the equivalent of Sinemet, just from a different partner.
It's definately doing something. I blink now. It's driving me nuts.
The "facial masking" is what the doc noticed immediately. She said I don't blink my eyes. I never noticed. It explains why I have twenty bottles of artifical tears laying around though.
It's really strange the stuff I hadn't noticed.
Stranger yet is all the things I've started to remember that have bothered me for years that I've never gotten any answers to.
About five years ago I started complaining to my doctor that I felt like I was living in a jar of molasses and it was exhausting. I just ignored it and started napping.
Moving from the drugs I was taking for my back and all the spasm and pain combined with this new stuff is making me incredibly sick and confused, but I feel better now at 11:00 in the morning than I usually do by this time.
I have always tried to get up early and get all my work done by 2:00 in the afternoon, because after that I'm worthless unless I eat a pound of drugs.
In the last couple weeks I've cut my pain meds in half already, and have basically relied on valium to control the spasms and energy drinks to keep me from falling asleep in my soup.
Today I'm going to cut the valium in half, go to 1/4 my daily dose of narcotic goodness, and see what happens.
The new dope is a five day systemic, twice a day, then I go to three times a day.
By the time it's in my system, all the other stuff should be out.
That's my goal, anyways.
If this stuff works, and it seems to be already, then I'll just have to see where I'm at and go from there.
At this point, I'm so weirded out, sick and goofed that I'm not sure if my ass is punched or bored.

Good luck on the new meds.
Just curious, have you've noticed any different in how the cigars taste?

I know it. I love ya, brother.
Thank You to everybody. I'm gonna go lay down. It's cool that this stuff is working, but in my zeal, I've kind of forgotten about my back. It really doesn't seem to care about all this other stuff, and it's decided it's time for a break, even though I haven't done anything. lol
