Hey Terri, I just joined and see that no one replied since you posted this. Did you find your own answers in the meantime?

Anyway, I'm sure you've figured this out already, but:
- as to your first question: of course you should consult your neurologist, but our first introduction to Sinemet was at the 25-100 (25mg carbidopa, 100 mg levodopa) dose. We were told to break that tablet in half (so 12.5mg, 25mg) and take one-half tablet once a day, then work up to three times a day over a period of one week.

However, we never did start the Sinemet, we just held on to the prescription for future use if needed. Instead we started the Hinz protocol. For more information, see the thread on this forum: "Hinz Protocol - Actual Experiences"

- as to your second question: search for Project CBD online, go to the parkinsons disease page, read the numerous studies posted there. Sorry, as a newbie I can't post any links yet.

peace
Jon
