One of my neuros said CR was not a slow release but no
release.
I use it as background drug somewhat like
background music. When taken on its own the start up time is 2-4 hours and it
lasts for about an hour. When taken with sinemet 100 it is only barely
noticeable except that it makes me feel more "On". without it my on time is a
bit shaky
When I first started CR ,it worked from the first day.
Many new PWP' s are put on CR as soon as they find they are a PWP, and I find
in talking to them that they find little benefit. I think some neuros believe CR
is something new to replace SInemet 100 ,whereas it is only
supplemental.

Subject: Sinemet
My husband started taking Sinemet CR last week. He had no response, so
the neuro prescribed regular Sinemet 25/100 x 3. Couple of questions: How long
does it usually take to get a response?
Does the "low and slow" titration policy relate more to the nausea
associated with starting Sinemet, or is it for the body/brain to adjust to it
generally? He has had no nausea from taking the meds, even without food. Is
that unusual?
Looking for answers from our
bright and experienced group.
