Wow Scott - Seems like a heavy dose of meds so early in the game. Maybe you need them but after 16+ years it is much more than I take. I do know that 25/100CR does cause me to do a lot of what you describe. I don't tolerate CR's well. Did he ever try you on the regular pills? I take 10/100's 3 or 4 a day and 1 50/200CR in the middle of the night if I can go right back to bed. It does cause me what you describe you have, but I can walk for a couple of hours after getting up so I deem it worth it. As you said, everyone is different and you might need what you were prescribed but I think I'd ask the doctor if you could take a smaller dose. Do you have trouble walking, trouble with freezing or what is your biggest result if you miss a dose? You are so young and hopefully there will be a cure for you someday. Bless you. helen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
