Perhaps you should consider taking Sinemet instead of Stalevo. I don't know if you have previously taken Sinemet without Comptan - but it would seem you have a real problem that is probably drug induced. You will only discover the truth if you stop taking Stalevo and the symptoms disappear. Have you told your neurologist about these symptoms? --------- God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 67/27 with PD) www.bentwillowfarm.org Subject: Stalevo > I have been taking Stalevo 150 3x day for about a year and would like > to determine If your experience with Salevo is similar to what I have > described below.
