"I have had PD since age 39. I have been taking Stalevo since it became available. It has worked wonders for me as long as I don't forget to take it. I tried all three components of Stalevo as individual pills, and they did not work for me like their combination in Stalevo. Highly recommend."

"My father was put on Stalevo and had to discontinue use after suffering side effects that came on after the dosage was raised in succession. He has had severe side effects such as fatigue, diarrhea, and he could barely function. He is no longer on the medication."

"I was put on Stalevo and threw up for 2 days. First night, hallucinations and insomnia. I read where if a history of melanoma, you should not take this medicine. I do have a history, so I called my neurologist and discontinued this medication."

"I'm 66 years old, and I've had PD since 2009. I've been taking Stalevo for 5+ years, and I take 5 a day. Have very little off time unless I'm late on taking my dosage. So far, it's been pretty effective in treating my PD."

"Has helped with all of my symptoms and other problems, which I wasn't sure whether it was the disease or side effects of the agonists (Requip and Mirapex) I had taken before."

"Taking Stalevo 4x daily 200/50 for four years now for Parkinson's disease. They work for me like spinach to Popeye's. The end-of-day side effects I'm having are nausea, fatigue, and anxiety."

"I have been using Stalevo for the last 2 months after I have been using Madopar, and still use it for the last 2 years. Stalevo is kind of a detonator for Madopar. My body is more relaxed, I can easily get up from the chair, which I could not before. I'm less tired than before. I highly recommend Stalevo. No side effects at all."
