re Tasmar

 " Has anyone any experience with the drug Tasmar ... From what I can find out 
from the internet it has serious side effects. Des Hooker"

I took  Tasmar for about 6 months. But when info came out about possibly it  
negatively affecting the liver, both my family doc & neurologist agreed that I 
should change my meds.  But during the 6 months that I used Tasmar, I did very 
well with  PD and was able to reduce my Sinemet CR. I think that it helped me 
in a major way continue working full time then.

The only reason that I discontinued Tasmar was because at my age then (less 
than 50),  my doctors were concerned about the long term effect it might have 
on my liver. But I do not recall any actual bad effects from Tasmar. My 
understanding is that as my PD worsens, it remains a very viable option. (My PD 
condition has  been stable for over a year, using Sinemet CR, Eldepryl, Requip, 
& Amantadine).
