The one doc I go to , told me she has patients on Sinemet every 2 hours if that is what they need. I was great at the 4 hour mark, and then amonth ago, at exactly 3 hours and sometimes 2 and a half, I stop dead....the cycle begins again..nausea, never feel well. sweating, need help to the washroom et....got stuck in the bath unable to move....learning curve....13 years and still learnign as the disease progresses along its evil path....

@ Gaye Jones , Our neurologist told us that the limit was 10. My husband now takes 8. I suppose she'll add another drug after that.

I take small doses around the clock. I am very sensitive to it, but I take between 8-10 (10/100 mg) per day. I have motor fluctuations and pretty bad dyskinesea.
