My mother is the one taking this medication. She has gone to the dr repeatedly and told her it is not helping her and she will not change her medication to something else. I do not understand why but I do know my mother is very frustrated and even wants to quit going to the Dr because of this.

This med offers long lasting benefits. I usually take on Sinemet firs thing in the morning and then 2 Satelvos during the day. I notice improved cognitive functioning.

Stalivo has not caused any GI symptoms; it is easy to swollow; it wears off aporox. every 3hrs. Sometimes, it makes my eyes close--but when it's working, I feel terriffic.

Stalevo has given me back all the abilitiess to talk effectively and with the knowledge I know what I am doing. The other symptons have not disappeared but are not as bad as before taking the medication. Knowing others in a support group I find this is a great medication for my body.

For myself, it only works ( Stalevo 100 )in combination with Artane. I tried both of these drugs separately and did not have much relief with either of them, but together they work well.

I took this for about one week before my Dr. upped me to 100 mgs. In both cases I found little positive and some negative reaction. I've had joint pain, which is new. I'm also on Azilect, and have tried ReQuip and Meripex, neither of which caused much change.

I moved from Requip to Neupro and Stalevo 50 3x. It seems to be working, but some symptoms are still obvious.

the only thing I find difficult is having to take the medication 4 times a day and 1/2 hour before eating. Otherwise it is a great treatment for tremors.
