Linda P.... As I understand it, (and I've had PD for almost 25 years), a sweet beverage or even a coupla teaspoons of ice cream (flavor's up to you) <smile> often makes one's meds kick in a lot faster than if they'd been taken with, say, water. I always take my meds with apple juice or a Sprite.... non-dietetic.
