For Parkinson's Disease "Didn't improve any symptoms. Side effects: 1. It was messing up my stomach and starting to cause problems with my acid reflux. 2. I had several episodes of feeling really anxious, and my heart would race – on the verge of a panic attack, maybe? 3. Very slight fear of the dark."

For Parkinson's Disease "I just started taking this drug about 3 weeks ago. The first week was a little rough, and it leaves a funny taste in my mouth. However, now that I am getting used to it, I find it helpful. I can take less Carbidopa/Levodopa and have a much smoother transition between the end/beginning of medication times. ONE THING I HAVE FOUND is the importance of staying hydrated. Dehydration is a side effect, and it shows. If I don't watch it, I start feeling bad, and symptoms flare up. After I drink a large glass of water, I start feeling better."

"Comtan worked well on my restless leg syndrome. I didn't have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and I was able to sleep for seven hours straight. I never can do that with generic Sinemet because it wears off too soon. I wish I could get a prescription for it instead of just the samples given to me by a neurologist."
