^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 49/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 34 deg. F :-)grey skies ******************************************************************** Hi List, Just got my liver enzyyme test results. After 9 months on Tasmar tablets which have been CUT with a PILL-SPLITTER (now at 5 x 50 mg/day), my liver enzyme results , according to my family physician's nurse, just given to me over the telephone, are "WONDERFUL ! " AST is 16 ALT is 5 My very knowledgeable neurologist and I have co - signed a waiver form , and I will continue on Tasmar indefinitely. He is John Boothby, MD, Portland , Maine. Following JR Bruman, I question whether Tasmar really caused any deaths at all. ATTENTION PHYSICIANS, PWP'a and CAREGIVERS Could the possibility of liver problems be due to starting patients on too much at once?? I started on 25 mg / day, and incrementally increased over several months to 200, then over several more months, to 225 and now, 250 mg/day. Sinemet has dropped from 1600 to 900 mg/day. IVAN
