Hello, Sonia --

I wondered what TASMAR could be!

Mirapex is "pramipexole dihyrdrochloride" and it's made by Pharmacia Upjohn.  
There's some info about it at http://www.fda.gov/cder/da/da0797.htm  (FDA is 
the Food and Drug Administration responsible for approving new drugs).    
There's some more info at   http://www.mhsource.com/whatsnew/mirapex.html.

At the second address I found mention of tasmar.  It is tolcapone, made by 
Roche, and seems to be moving along in the FDA pipeline but not yet approved.

I'm glad that you and baby are fine!  We enjoyed a visit with our newest 
grandson, now 7 weeks old and almost smiling, on Saturday.  My step-daughter 
also brought 4 foster-children with her (ages 1, 6, 9 and 11).  Then on Sunday 
we went to visit the missing foster-child, age 10, and the psychiatric hospital 
where he is for the 2nd time this summer.  It's very sad....these children are 
so damaged.  Debbie is thinking of adopting 4 of them; she is amazing (not the 
9 year old, he was only with her for a few days) and/or crazy!

Take care!
Mary
