oops- jacks meds
sorry last message sent before i finished
i am trying to adjust jacks meds after neuro changed them and he got worse.
talking to
our local doctor i asked her if i could change some sinimet plain in place
of sinemet cr
as he seems wiped out for quite a while after taking cr. she said try
substituting
2-25/100 in place of the sinemet 50/200 andsee how it works. right now his
meds are
8am
> 2- 25/100 sinemet
1- comtan
1- senna+
12 noon
1- 50/200 cr sinemet
1- proscar
1- senna*
4pm
2- 25/100 sinemet
1- comtan
8 pm
1- 50/200 cr sinemet
2- 2 senna+
he seems to feel fine after 8 am dose and the 4 pm dose but is very
slow after noon meds
and in evening very sleepy. does it make sense to just have him replace
the 2 50/200 cr
doses with 2 25/100 as i did with the morning and 4 pm doses and
stop all the 50/200 cr
as they don't seem to do him any good?
