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.

(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).
