I just wanted to share my experience w/the funky little brown pill....I started out w/the smaller dosage of 100 mg, 3X a day.....felt great!! Had more energy, could really move............after awhile tho things leveled off so I bumped up to 200mg, 3X a day while cutting back on my Sinemet from 50/200 to 25/100 3X a day.......but things stopped being so rosey after awhile.......I started feeling weak when I would take the Tasmar........it felt more like my symptoms worsened after taking it......I eventually got to the point where all I could do was l lay on the couch all day....it was extremely hard to breathe...I was lucky if the meds kicked in enough for me to fix some lunch........I had nightmares every night......and always felt "befuddled".....barely able to answer a question.......I got to the point where it was too miserable to exist that way any longer......I gradually weaned myself off & feel like a new person......I no longer have to wait hours for my meds to start working.....I feel so much stronger now.....able to think and form sentences...I realize we all have our different responses to these wonderful drugs........I just wanted my experience to be shared so that others might know what possibilities may lay ahead of them.......here's hoping I am the exception.........Nicole Gall 38/9
