She then promptly went back to sleep for about 1-1/2 hours, an unusual result from before. She now has taken it twice more, on a 4-1/2 hour time frame, and reports feeling much better, much longer than on the regular 25/100. So we're hopeful we're on the right track.

Update - after 2 days of promising results, the night of the second day had her back to the frequent 'off' periods, and today has been the same - little or no relief from the 50/200 pill. Some literature implies that one could supplement the regular dosage with an additional 25/100 sinemet, but we are not sure we want to try that.
Also interested to know if anyone knows if the 50/200 ER picll can be safely cut in half for another enhanced dose?
