Dear Linda Herman- This is for Fred, and Barbara, Hello from IVAN Perhaps the amount of milligrams per dose of Barbara's Tasmar should be cut back. Combined with Sinemet, dyskinesia can occur, though I don't know about "thrashing" dyskinesia, as Fred called it. . I take 1/2 of a 100 mg tablet of Tasmar, just 4 times a day. My doses of Tasmar are only 50 mg each. This works very well for me. Is she taking 3 x 100mg, or 3 x 200 mg, in each day? Was she spacing each dose of Tasmar to once every 4 to 6 hours? It is a powerful medication, that works very well for me, IN SMALL AMOUNTS, JUST 50 mg PER DOSE, and taken once every four hours, but not more frequently. Hoping this helps. ROOTING for the two of you!
