Ray,
My current medication is 50/200ER Carbidopa/Levodopa with Comtan
four times a day at approximately four hour intervals. (7:AM, 11:AM,
3:PM, 7:PM.) My Neuro suggested I add half of a 25/100 Carbi/Levo
immediate release to help ramp up my first dose of the day, if needed.
-Geo.

Ivan,
Thanks so much for your suggestion.
I have never combined regular and CR Sinemet. Both make my severe
feet/toes/ankle dystonia worse.
Think I will wait til I see Dr. Waltz on Apr 16. If I am NOT a candidate
for DBS, it sounds worth a try - I think the Sinemet woulld help my
stiffness if I could get rid of dystonia and tremor.
There was a young 18 yr old man here in Murrieta with dystonia so severe
(no
PD) that he was in fetal position. I read that DBS made him "normal'.and
he
was able to graduate with his high school class.
Thanks, again, Rayilyn
