Re: 10/100 vs 25/100

Joyce,
My carbidopa reduction was not from 25/100 to 10/100 but rather from CR
50/200 to 10/100........so same proportions.

I was taking five 50/200 each day.  For about six months, I had progressively
more difficulty getting "on".........I seemed to function all day in a "not
on" state which was somewhere between "off" and "on".............about 80% of
my functional "on" was achieved.  Felt very tired and dragging.

I switched first to 10/100 to replace my first Sinemet CR of the day......I
would take a 10/100 when I got up and then another an hour later.........I
was on within 20 minutes of the second tablet..........eventually I replaced
four 50/200's with
five 10/100's....I have since moved up to six 10/100's and continue to take 1
CR at about 10 a.m........it gives me a longer stretch without meds at that
time of day when Iam usually busy and would forget to take a pill.  Most
immediate change noticed by everyone was a refreshed energy in my voice
pattern....not sounding as though I would soon fade away to exhaustion.

I also don't feel so "drugged".
