As you maybe remember I was very ill from Tasmar, recentley I tried COMTAN (COMTESS in Denmark) and it was great the first two month, but then I started to have diarrehoea (just like with Tasmar - but not so bad) for 2 weeks , and my neuro asked me to stop immediately. I have to emphasize that I`m very sensitive about the most of that medicin we pwp have to take and have to increase very very slowly. Today I`m feeling well with my Sinemet CR, Permax and Pramipexol which is rather new, and until now without sideeffect, it really help me, more energy and better walking, and I`m very happy about this. Congratulation with your 50 years birthday :-)) hope you had a nice day.
