Until recently, Doreen's PD medication regimen had been: Sinemet (25/100)...7:00 w/Amantadine 100 mg...10:30 w/Amantadine 100 mg...3:30, Sinemet only...5:00, Sinemet only. Approximately one week ago, this was changed to: 1 Sinemet, every 2 hours starting with 7:00 a.m. This was the prescribed regimen with the "less, more frequent" dosage as a trial hoping to decrease the dyskinesia(s) associated with the Sinemet. Her "neuro"...in an attempt to decrease the number of times she was taking the Sinemet, i.e., every 2 hours, has now prescribed Sinemet CR (still with the Amantadine with the first two doses) and NO regular Sinemet...just the Sinemet CR. I would so appreciate your input related to eliminating the regular Sinemet and substituting Sinemet CR. What has been your experience? How have you taken the Sinemet CR?

Thank you for any help you may be able to give me.
