What are common side effects?
Earl has been taking entacapone the generic form of comcan for a about a year, It really helped him. He was able to reduce the amount of carbodopa/levadopa and go longer between doses
Just stopped taking Comtan last week as I am trying Rytary. Most uncomfortable part of Comtan was the bloating of my stomach. Looks like I swallowed a beach ball. I was on it for 5 years. My body actually started bloating about 15 minutes before i was due to take! Still, despite the symptoms it does work well at getting the levodopa to the brain.
Just added Comcan to my c/l, my dyskinesia went wild. I was experiencing it 8 hrs straight. Thinking about living with the off times. Also sweats all day.
Never took comtan. Mirpex put 80lbs on me after I went off of it I lost down to 92 lbs because my PD got worse not because of the mirpex . Only the weight gain was reaction.
I Take Carb/levo 3x/day. Times I Shake On My Right Side - Hand, And Now A Quiver In My Right Leg. Would Timed Release Carb/levodopa Help?
Has Anyone Experienced A Strong Reaction To The Drug Entacapone?
