John: I've been taking comtan since December 10. I got used to it gradually, beginning with one a day for three days, two a day for three days, and so on until I reached seven. My experience has been largely positive, though I've had some side effects. I've been able to reduce my sinemet CR's (25/100) from ten a day to eight. I have been a bit unbalanced and broke a bone in my hand when I reached out to a wall to keep from falling, and I haven't done that in a few years. I've been more forgetful (if that's possible) since I've been taking it, and, although I'm normally pretty upbeat, I've been feeling kind of down. Constipation is more of a problem, too. And the good news is that I sleep better at night, but the bad news is I'm more tired during the day. My doctor says the side effects are the same as sinemet's. I wonder,if that's the case, why not just take the sinemet, since the purpose in cutting down is to reduce the unpleasant side effects?
