>Hi. I'm not sure I agree with the statement that it is better to take >1/2 of a 25/100 every 2 hours than a whole one every four hours. >With a half a pill you get a different peak concentration of the drug in >your blood than with a whole pill.

Joel asked his doctor about taking more Sinemet to control the shaking, and his doctor said he could take the whole bottle, but it wouldn't do more than the initial dosage. I read out loud the notes that everybody writes, while Joel sits at the breakfast table, since he thinks anybody who sits in front of a monitor is deranged. Sometimes he puts his fingers in his ears and sings. However, yesterday we tried an experiement that some of you had recommended. He only took his blood pressure pills and Zoloft. His hand shook like a vibrator. I guess this means he has the real thing, and in itself, it's a relief to know. Thanks again, Folks! ***************************** * With a smile in her byte, * * [log in to unmask] * *****************************
