But when info came out about possibly it negatively affecting the liver, both my family doc & neurologist agreed that I should change my meds.

But I do not recall any actual bad effects from Tasmar. My understanding is that as my PD worsens, it remains a very viable option. (My PD condition has been stable for over a year, using Sinemet CR, Eldepryl, Requip, & Amantadine). > > Charley > 52 next month, diagnosed with PD 1993, symptoms began to appear about 1990-91. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
