^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 50/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 36 deg. F :-) ******************************************************************** Dear PIEnetters, Does anyone wish that you had to wait only 15 minutes, instead of 30-45 minutes, for each dose of Sinemet to "kick in"? Imagine how your life might be if the dour, dreaded "off-periods" were reduced to a quick ten or fifteen minutes. Imagine the impact on work, travel and family life! If Dupont or any smart competitor would make a totally new Sinemet, that is quickly "dispersible" in water, like Madopar, as described below by Nigel.Harland, I would be first in line for such a product! How do we find the FASTEST solution to manufacturing it? We could alleviate a tremendous amount of suffering among us.

I am pleased to be able to say that the results of the changeover have been all I could have hoped for, response times down to 15-20 minutes without fail, kicking in quickly with minimal discomfort. The tablets come in 125 mg and are scored so they can be cut, (CUT)
