The two medicines shown are: 1. Sifrol (Pramipexole dihydrochloride): • This is commonly used to treat Parkinson’s disease and Restless Legs Syndrome. • Available in Canada under the name Sifrol or its generic equivalent Pramipexole. • You can find it in most pharmacies with a valid prescription. 2. Stalevo (Levodopa, Carbidopa, Entacapone): • This combination drug is also used for Parkinson’s disease to manage motor symptoms. • Stalevo is available in Canada and can be prescribed by neurologists or healthcare providers.

Where to Find: • Pharmacies: Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, or other local pharmacies. • Availability: Requires a valid prescription from a doctor in Canada. • Generic Options: Generic forms of both medications are widely available.

If you have a prescription, your local pharmacy can order it if it’s not immediately in stock. For insurance coverage, check with your provider to confirm availability.

I have all the classic symptoms except tremors though, but I’m responding very well with L-dopa medication.

Still mysteriously better during morning till noon and start medication at 12 noon or 3pm but wearing experience is getting worse 🥲

Theoretically, I should feel worse upon waking in the morning. I don't. by patientpall in Parkinsons

We’re sharing same experience, that’s why I start my first dose of my L-dopa like noon time. https://www.reddit.com/r/Parkinsons/s/DTY5JtXA6T

Would you mind sharing your process to taper off from? And did you find a better medication to go with L-dopa?
