(2) Does anyone take "regular" Sinemet AND Sinemet CR?
If so, what is your dosing schedule?
I'm still looking for some responses that could help me with our discussion with Doreen's neurologist on Friday.
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

I don't know if this will help you, but I do take both Sinemet 25/100 and Sinemet CR 50/200. I take regular Sinemet 25/100 5 times per day along with other meds. I take 1 Sinemet CR 50/200 only once per day - the last dose before bed. The idea is that the CR stays in my system longer than regular Sinemet so I can stay asleep longer. It really does seem to have helped with my sleep problem although I still can't stay asleep through the entire night.
Approximate Schedule:
6:00am Sinemet 25/100, Mirapex 1mg, Comtan 200mg, Amantadine, and 2 tablets of an experiemental drug.
9:00am Sinemet 25/100, Mirapex, Comtan
12:00pm Sinemet 25/100, Mirapex, Comtan, Amantadine
3:30pm Sinemet 25/100, Mirapex, Comtan
7:00pm Sinemet 25/100, Mirapex, Comtan, Amantadine
10:30pm Sinemet CR 50/200, Mirapex, Comtan
3am Parcopa if needed due to sleeplessness
