Ivan....DONE!! By this a.m., I had had it up to here with increased rigidity and emailed my neuro. The upshot is I am going back on the Tasmar this evening! I dropped it due to the liver warnings, but my quality of life was dipping much too low...in terms of daily productivity and doing for myself. Not that there were no problems while on Tasmar...I was trying to adjust my other meds even before I went off Tasmar...but...I wasn't having to lean on my husband, literally, much at all. like I have recent evenings! Maybe when something else becomes available, Iike Remacemide which I seemed to respond favorably to in phase I trials, I'll switch from Tasmar. In the meantime, I'll be going in for regular blood work. Thanks for writing and for plugging my weekly radio show, which has aired since 1989. I haven't hosted it myself in awhile...I function more as an Executive and Creative Producer these days.

We can't have our List's only PWP who is a weekly radio host suffering from new rigidity! That won't do! If you were better ON it, how about going back on Tasmar, but in 50 mg increments to build slowly up to a tolerable and beneficial level? The Seeses wrote me, as have others, wonder what you think? My neuro and I signed a release to continue. I am not having any problems--but I would if I dropped the Tasmar!! I would say, ask your neuro to re-evaluate ASAP.
