A friend has started on them and finds them to be giving her double the amount of 'on' time with Sinemet. However, it is early days yet as she has only been taking them for about 4 days

Sadly the benefits only seemed to last for about four months. She still seems to have more energy in ‘on’ time but appears to suffer more otherwise, also has side effects
