rsprin2 welcome to the forum.

People respond to Sinemet differently. Some people become more or less symptom free for a few hours. Unfortunately it doesn't have this effect on me. But it (or in my case Stalevo) does help. I can, for instance, finger tap at twice the rate when I'm "on". Some people who have a good "on" with Sinemet have a bad "off", whereas if I miss a dose, I can still get about.

Thanks for joining the forum. I hope you find an answer to your question.

John
