Nancy, I have been taking Tasmar for several months now, and have really appreciated the extra mobility it gives me. When this liver damage info came to the surface, I didn't know what to do. I have cut my daily dose of tasmar in half, from 400 to 200. My neuro seems to think that most people will want to stay on it, but of course the final decision is mine. I am monitored (blood tests) every two weeks, even though it has not been proven that this type of testing could actually detect the liver damage in time because it is thought to develop very quickly. What to do? I don't know.

Pass me the catsup, am going to eat my words! Last week I shared that my neuro took me off Tasmar and I made the comment that I thought I would feel better not taking it any more. I was so wrong! Without the drug I had tremors on the left side, trouble walking, difficulty getting up from a chair, and freezing. I was much worse! Decided this afternoon that quality of life is more important to me than quantity so called the neuro and said I wanted to go back on Tasmar, I'll have to have blood tests every two weeks but as I found out, it will be worth the bother. The nurse told me that most of their patients changed their minds as I did. Having never been wrong before (ha ha) Repentant and a little wiser, Nancy Sparks
