hi all,

Bob, my hubby, was recently prescribed Comtan and hasn't yet had any ill
side affects.
He has been on it for around a month now I think. He takes it twice a day
along with his Sinemet CR 50/200 (at arising and 11:30am) both at least
half an hour before eating.

He is doing much better now that he is taking it :)) he has a longer time
of which he can do things instead of being tired.

he is 70/4+ I guess

thanks, Coleen :)

ps. we are in So. Oregon and he had his neuro appoint not too long ago and
dr prescribed the *new* med.
