I am now down to half the usual dosage of Sinemet. In consult. with Dr., I went up to 10mg 3 times a day of Requip. Nominally above the max, but I am on the big side, and have been taking 10x3 for a couple of weeks now. Just last week I cut the third dose of Sinemet in half, so now I take half a pill when before I took a whole one (25/100). Symptoms are ok. Sometimes I get a slight hint of losing control, but it never lasts, esp. when I concentrate. For this little change, I'm glad I'm trying this. Ya gotta wonder how much good Sinemet was doing. We'll see how it goes as I slowly eliminate the second half of the pills. Enjoy the holiday. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn Rick
