Hello Polly M
After a disastrous time on Mirapexin I was put on Madopar last year(dx Sep 2010)and have been on 25/100 x 3 daily since last october. Has helped with walking, now walk well without shuffle, balance has improved and freezing stopped. However still have fatigue, although interspersed with more energy , and anxiety whch I m addressing with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Also still have tremor in legs.
To be honest still not sure if I m under medicated or whether this is an acceptable response to this dosage of Madopar. Neurologist seems to think I should have responded better at my age,57, but I have to remind myself that, before Madopar, I couldn t walk without shuffling and can now walk for an hour most days. Think both your and my dosages are considered fairly low.
My perspective only, I m sure other people s will be different.
BW to you
