I don't think I have experienced a direct comparison, but I do know for a fact that there are generic controlled-released versions on the market. The one I am currently using is made by Mylan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frederick W.

I am struggling to decide on Medicare prescription plans and | am discovering the actual cost of my medication which was previously | completely covered. I take Sinemet CR 25/100, Time released 3 times daily and | Amantadine 10 mg 3 times daily. The Sinemet, which is brand-named, Is much more | costly than its generic counterpart. I am hesitant to order the generic | because it would not be as effective with the tremor's as the brand name, | especially the time released feature. Does anyone have any experience with | brand-name versus generic Sinemet? Is this the medication that's controlling my | tremors or is it the Amantadine? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
