Mary Ann,
Did you reduce the Sinemet when you got a positive reaction from
the Comtan?

Dyskinetias are caused by too much Sinemet activity.  If the
Comtan is making the Sinemet more active you need to take less
Sinemet.

That is what Comtan is supposed to do.  But it works for some
people and does not work at all for others.

Not necessarily.  My husband takes only 1 Comtan a day.  He has
severe
dyskinesia and his doctor is being careful not to cause an
increase in the
problem.
