    I was diagnosed with PD in 2007 so it’s been 13 years. I’ve been on Levodopa for 11 of those 13 years. For me, this drug has been very successful. I have very few side effects and Levodopa (Rytary – like Senemet extended release) works almost as well now as It did when I started using it. To those who feel that it’s not as effective now as it used to be, I would say Levodopa  is probably working as well as it ever has but your Parkinson’s is getting worse making it appear as if the Levodopa is not as effective as it used to be.
