    <p style=”text-align: center;”>I would say start taking it to get rid of Bothersome symptoms. Don’t increase until it obvious your symptoms are worse. Just be aware of all side effects. When I get the right amount of meds I feel like I don’t have pd.

    Never. Even on a sleeping pill. My system doesn’t like many medications.

    I get dyskinesia, sweating. I was on too high of a dose and it was terrible 1% addiction side effects. I get unique side effects from every med. my 1% one had to be reported to health canada.  I can’t think of what else probably because 5, years in it all seems normal.

    I get dystonia. Botox didn’t help. Try artane. Helps but I take a long time to tolerate up dosing
