It seemed to be working. However the little tablets took about 20 minutes to disolve and the taste was so bad i could not tolerate it. I tried taking apiece of hard candy when I took one. then I started taking Mirapex and it woks very well. Combined with Sinemet CR 50-200 it is the best combination that I have had since my diagnosis in 1988. May Mercy, peace,and love be yours in abubdance (Jude 2) David L.
