Hi-- I may not be understanding your problem--but you are getting the same
amount of Levodopa (100mg) with both the 25/100 and the 10/100. If the
25/100 is the CR you mentioned, then it will last longer in your system.
I'm not sure why the "readjustment" should take several weeks--but as
everyone is different I really would suggest bugging your neuro till you
get answers---that is the best place to get such specific dosage advice.
