I started taking Artane about 2 weeks ago along with 25/100 Sinement
     3X/day.  The side effects which are most dramatic are spaciness and
     blurred vision. I actually got lost momentarily taking my kids to
     school and sporadically have found myself in the middle of a sentence
     and forgetting what I was talking about.

     Can anyone tell me if these effects wear off and if so, how long it
     takes?

     Background:  diagnosed with PD 10 years ago (age 36).  Drug therapy
     started about 7 years ago with Permax.  Added sinnemet about 3 years
     ago. In the last year I've tried adding requip (no effect after 3
     weeks), Tasmar, and now Artane with no Permax.

     I'd appreciate any comments or experiences you'd care to share.
