WOW! Chewing your Sinemet-what a difference!!!

November 23, 2002

After 2 1/2 years on Parkinson's medications Celeste's movement

disorder specialist finally told her about chewing her Sinemet and

drinking it with something carbinated drinks, like Coke, and/or

Gatorade. What a difference. We absolutely can't believe we didn't

know this before. When swallowing the pills whole it could take 1

1/2 hours for them to work, now it take 25 minutes to 30 minutes.

Lots more ON time and lots less OFF time. How did we never know

this? If you haven't done it try it and see the difference. Maybe

it works for the agonists as well. I don't know. But Celeste's

agonist right now is a capsule...so it would be hard to chew. Give

it a try....

Lots of luck,

Hi Dawn,

As far as I know it should work with any chewable medicine, but remember to

read the instructions on/in the box first. Some pills are " timed release "

or something like that, meaning that they are meant to be swallowed whole.

But good to know it makes such a difference with Sinamet (you do know it

also works with asperin, right?)

Best wishes,

Marcel
