Hi all... thanks to you who responded to my latest post. IMO, the new drugs made available on the market these last few years (e.g. Tasmar, Mirapex Requip, and now Comtan) have made our choice of meds much more of a gamble by raising the stakes. It's harder for our dctors to make firm recommendations as well. Please be assurred these questions are being discussed by me or my friends in as much depth as possible with some of the finest minds in Barcelona ! Your input from the front lines is always welcomed as well. :-)) Barb B-K 59/44 KS
