Hi. I take a Madopar 62.5 (levodopa 50mg + benzeraside 12.5mg) every 3 hours and sometimes get dyskenesia. But when I started it I took only half a tablet every 2 hours and found that manageable. You can cut the rapid release tablet in half. As far as your doctor not being aware of side effects, I think this is common. There is so much information for them to know, and the drug companies aren’t always scrupulous about what information they share! Good luck!
I’m following the advice of the Parkinson’s Recovery Project (pdrecovery.org). Their theory is that people with Parkinson’s have got themselves stuck in thanatosis (near death mode), which is uniquely identified by aberrant flowing chi.
