Experience with Comtan?

My Neuro has recommended I add Comtan to my med plan. I am taking 25/250 CD /LD every 3 hours and still have irregular down times.

Does anyone have experience with Comtan they would like to share?

Don't take it. It has major side effects. Take Xadago instead and you will feel much better

I read your reply, rhenry45, but hoped my two great Neurologist's knew better than you. Well, I was wrong. Comtan made me feel like a zombie. It is supposed to extend the Siniment l but it extended my off periods and I went much deeper in my off periods. There must be a better way to extend the effects of Siniment .

Comtan is awful. don't use it. Use Xadago as it has no side effects and extends the C/L as well as reducing any anxiety you may have.

Gosh, I had no idea there were so many options for C/L.

Not what you're looking for?
