Re: Tasmar
Ervin: Jeannette was on Sinemet for about 10 years before titrating off it. As I mentioned is was beginning to cause m oreproblemsforherthenitsolved. Klonopin can be used for tremors as well as a relaxant for sleeping. We have discussed this usage with the doctor and have held it in abbeyance for later. He recommended that we try it (and I suspect it would work) but Jeannette doesn't want to go around sleepy or feeling drugged all day......no pun intended :>) BTW, we are beginning to suspect that Requip may cause some forgetfulness with long term usage. As I recall, there was a caution pertaining to this possibility. For now though it is our best deal.
