George, Several methods I've used seem to work . If the Sinemet is a
dissolvable tablet, it can be ground up in a liquid, which seems to go
down easier than a solid pill with a chaser. The other method is to put
the pill under your tongue to dissolve (sublingual) and swallow the
little that remains with your saliva or a sip of something. DISCLAIMER:
What works for one person may not work for another. Before changing any
aspect of prescription use, it's important to get the approval of your
health care professional. Cheers, Geo.

Subject: Catch 22--swallowing
I find myself caught in a classic catch 2 situation. In the morning, I
need to take my first sinemet pill in order to function (swallowiing
included). The problem is I can't swallow that first pill without the
benefit of sinemet.
I thought a sinemet patch might be the answer, but it's not yet
available. Does anyone on the list have any suggestions?
