Hello List Friends, Some more thoughts on my problem. It seems to me that if I did something that would interfere with the proper benefit that I should have gotten from the dose of sinemet, i.e , taken with food, or taken with protein etc..... that the process that kept the drug from doing any good, would also have kept the drug from doing anything bad also! In other words, it should not have done anything ------"good or bad". Is this not logical? Whatever would keep it from doing good would also keep it from doing bad. And yes, I know,I need better qualified medical advice, I have the phone numbers of the Movement Disorder Division right here on my desk, of both Vanderbuilt University and Emory University. I live about 2 and 1/2 hours from both of them, so I should be able to get some expert advice from them. I am going to call them soon. Lanier Maddux Chattanooga Tn.
