I've been taking it for 4-1/2 years (100 mg three times a day). No side effects except the skin on my legs is somewhat mottled. I'm just not sure how much it does, I know it has no effect on tremors for me.

No help with tremors. But stops dyskinesia. I cut my CL from 2/3 x a day to 3/1 x a day

My husband was on it for five years and worked well until one day he started having hallucinations, constantly, didn't go away, he went to hospital and they took him off it and the Hallucinations went away in a few days.

I was on it and developed swollen feet and ankles and red molten legs along with hallucinations horribly OH and extreme dry mouth! After weening off , My side effects are all but gone. (Switched to Sinemet) Works for some but like any medication not for all as we all travel a different PD journey.
