Bruman <[log in to unmask]> To: Alan Richards <[log in to unmask]> Subject: re: Sinemet High Alan, try the second trick I mentioned- if your dr. approves the extra dosage: Half a regular 25/100 tablet gets me started before breakfast. After a half hour it has taken effect and then I can eat; then about an hour after breakfast (2 hours after the first dose) I take the 50/200 CR which lasts the rest of the morning. You might wish to look up a new citation, which will appear in the June 1996 CSR, describing the trick: Pahwa R et al; Neur 1996;46:1059-1062 Cheers, Joe J. R.
