Sinemet IR Or Sinemet CR??

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Beaufort, SC

For those of you on sinemet, do you prefer sinemet immediate release or sinemet controlled release? My neuro is taking me off mirapex( due to bad side effects) and wants me to try sinemet. I don’t know which one I should try.
