Rayilyn I find that taking smaller doses more often makes for better control of my symptoms. I take one half of a sinemet cr 25/100 every 2 hours around the clock. This irons out the big swings between dystonia on the one hand and the 'wading through cement' slowness at the other extreme. Food - what and when you eat - is very important. You should not take sinemeet for at leat 30 mins before and 90 mins after you eat protein However i find this very limiting, as most preprepared foods are geared to the regular public and contain protein. So I use 'gold dust' - crumbs of the regular sinemet 25/100 - to supplement my intake of sinemet when I overdo the protein. This works for me. That does not mean it will necessarily work with you. Check with your doctor before messing around with your medications. And to learn about a suitable diet for PD, the best source is Kathrynne Holden's book: Eat well and stay well with Parkinson's Disease. hilary blue Rayilyn Brown wrote: > IVAN > I TOOK THE CONTROLLED RELEASE SINEMETtRIER TO DYSTONIA IN TOES AND FEET. 2ND > BIG ATTEMPT WAS REGULAR 25/100 BROKEN IN HALF EVERY 2 HRS FOR 3 PILLS DAILY. > EVEN A LITTLE BIT MAKES MY TOES FLEX IN AND OUT PAINFULLY - AND I I KEPT TRYING > IT.
