Des, Tasmar works well for some patients (just like the results of every other PD medication). My brother has taken it for something like 7 or 8 years. He has had excellent results. When it was recalled he had nothing but problems. Tried other agonists and none worked. He took it again as soon as he could after it was released subject to testing and has used it ever since. By the way, Tasmar was recalled because 3 patients out of 60,000 who had taken Tasmar had liver failure. HOWEVER, it was NEVER proven that any of the three had liver failure because of the Tasmar. If it works, take it!!!!!!
