Herb, I took sinemet for years on an "as needed basis" to control my tremors, I could see no reason to take sinemet if I wasn't using my hands. I took about 3 to 6 tablets a week. I would take a 25/100 when I paid our bills, drive the car, sew, cut my husbands hair. I took sinemet that way with my neurologists approval for over 15 years. I now have deep brain stimulation surgery and no longer take any sinemet. jjjane http://www.geocities.com/janet313/pienet/ross/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
