Joyce, Thanks for your advice on leg pain and sleeping. I currently take my last sinemet CR aabout 9 p.m. I go to sleep about 10 and the first time I wake up I take 1/2 of a sinemet cr. (My neuro says breaking it once doesn't spoil the effect; crushing it does. I know there are differences of opinion on this.) At the same time I take five baclafen (10mg's) which have the same effect as motrin. Then between 3:30 and 4:30 I take 1/2 of a regular sinemet, followed by a cr at 5, when I get up for the day. This seems to work as well as anything. If I take the baclafen and cr later than bedtime, the effect seems to last until the first dose of the day kicks in, but if I take it too early it wears off too soon. The problem I have is that the regular sinemet often doesn't kick in when I'm not moving around. Sounds like a good time to try the liquid stuff. Thanks again. Pat
