I know I can`t live without Sinemet and Permax too, even it took me a year to accept Permax caused nausea. As you know I`m trying Tasmar again - I tried one month ago but was very ill from sideeffects - but IF I`m going to have the same sideeffects again I`ll quit immediatedly. Now I know the sideeffects from Sinemet and I`m able to live with them, and I`m so lucky that my two neurologist always ask me to take what I need of levodopa. Once I was forced to take Eldepryl, and never in my life any doctor can force me to take drugs I can`t tolerate - because I`m the one who can feel if I can have the drugs or not. Kind regards Sonia NEVER GIVE UP
