Hi Jeannie, Why don't you call his Doctor and see if he can start the Sinemet CR sooner. However, with me, I only freeze up from lack of Dopamine not too much. When he gets to start taking the Sinemet CR at bedtime it should hopefully stop that problem. I'm not in the medical field, and I keep hoping one of the Doctors will answer you. just me, Marjorie 68/58/55 At 03:18 AM 11/14/2000 -0500, you wrote: >My husband is the PWP and his doctor is adjusting his medicine every to weeks >for six weeks so that he can put him on a continued release sinemet.
