Sinamet has been available for 25 or 30 years. There is no evidence,that
I know of, that it will cause brain damage. Some people on long term
Sinamet will get psychiatric side effects. There is evidence that brain
changes occur, some of which MAY be detrimental. Whether this is brain
damage has yet to be determined.             Jerry Starr,  RPh.
