The short answer to your question is No : I have not heard of such a reaction to Sinemet CR. However, this is one of those questions that spark a whole host of secondary questions: Is the patient's recall reliable? Is Sinemet CR the only drug that he takes? How much Sinemet CR does he take per day? Are his legs and arms totally immovable or do they have tremor? Sorry that I cannot help more directly Regards, -- Brian Collins <[log in to unmask]>
