Fellow *Parkie* in FL - diagnosed 14yrs. ago. I started with symetrel, and Permax. Moved to Sinemet many yrs ago. Tried Sinemet CR. caused severe hallucinations. Had to go back to 25\100. Now taking 2 every two hours for total of 14 per day. Very hard to regulate to eliminate the *off* and *on* effect. I find if I go over 16 per day the hallucinations come back. That is probably one of the things that you will moniter quite closely. you might try backing off by just 1 pill per day for 3 days. this helped me a lot. Then I can go back to my regular amount. Neurologist tells me it is a *build up *in the system. welcome to our group. It has helped me tremendously. God bless you all. Jim in Dunedin
