Hi Alan< thats exactly correct except its 16 hours because you must count the 7am drink. Otherwise all else is correct as you understand it. Im not taking more than the equal amount of pills. sinemet ../100 = 100cc liquid form In fact Alan, I had heard in the grapevine that with LS you may even be able to REDUCE the total pills. So, Chuck and I are conducting our own blind (me) study. At some point, he told me he would reduced the daily liquid mix to 9 instead of 10 pills. He didnt tell me when or even IF he did it, so Im in the dark. Except for the (now) occassional freezing difficultly walking, the amount of time spent in this condition has been reduced. In fact today was a GREAT DAY only a few scattered moments of trouble. One thing for sure, I have not had more than 2 toe cramping spasms in the one month we are on LS. THATS THE BEST !! Keep in touch joyce
