drugs for pd

At present, my dyskinesia has reduced than those days.
Usually dyskinesia does not appear so much except when nervous.
The reason of decrease is that the quantity of Sinemet came down from 4 tab to 1.5 tab a day.
One dose, from 1 tab to 1/3 tab.
That's because of dopamin agonist, permax or mirapex.
The benefit of agonist is great.
The history of my medication proves that.
The kinds of drugs which are available now in Japan, are less than in UK.
Ropinirole(Requip), entacapone, stalevo, rasagiline, apomorphine, rotigotine etc. are not available yet.
Nevertheless, the patients diagnosed lately are so blessed with PD life.
I really feel envious.
