"Drowsiness due to PROXIMITY to Sinemet?" Hmmm.... (thinking).... This
theory should be REAL easy to prove! I'll just take a buncha Sinemet over to
assorted neighbors and ask them to store it for me. If THEY start getting
tired like WE do, I'd say ya were onto something! <grin>

Barb, John, and Joe,
It must be the medication, not necessarily the taking of it but the proximity
to it. Glory takes the same medications as you ,Joe (200mg Amantadine and
four 25/100 Sinemet CR and it puts me to sleep almost immediately almost
anywhere I am stationary for a few minutes.
