Bill...thanks for the insight...I've been feeling groggy, sleepy and so tired and just attributed it to this busy time of the year with all that has to be done.....I just started taking comtan less than two weeks ago four times a day... but I will cut back starting tomorrow and see what happens....Also what does it do to the B12 level?

Comtan is great , if you want to be a zombie by taking it 3 times a day. However, it does prolong the effectiveness of Sinemet. I limit it to2 halves one at 8:30 am the other either at 12:30 or at 4:30 pm. You might want to check your B-12 level. > Merry Christmas > and a Happy New Year > Bill > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Nancy K.
