Amantadine questions
I'm on carbidopa/levodopa,
entacapone
and amantadine (100 mg 3x/day). Do you find it causes swelling in the feet, lower legs and hands? If you came off the drug, what was the upside and the downside? How did you come off of it? I understand that you can't quit it abruptly. Thanks for reponses

Anyone experience a wearing off cough/shortness of breath?
He is off to the Dr this week and will ask to trial
entacapone
to see if it smooths things out and he can space the dose timing out more and reduce the dose.

I now take a pile of CD/LD every 3 hours, but it lasts 2-1/2 hours but I have been taking a new prescription of
Entacapone
( 5 x 200 mg per day ) which does extend the time however it seems to cause me to see things that clearly are not there ( looking up the name ).

Time to try some extended release?
Two months ago I stopped taking
Entacapone
, and again, I couldn’t tell any difference. I ran into opicapone, a.k.a. Ongentys, and it seemed to sound like a better option than
Entacapone
, so I ordered a three month supply of it.

Why Won't My Neurologist Listen (Explanation)
It is not known if treatment with
entacapone
affects the risk of having prostate cancer. Therefore, it is important for men to have their regular prostate examinations during treatment with
entacapone
.

I have been offered Entacapone. I would appreciate hearing your own thoughts and experiences.
I am doing pretty well 7 years post dx, but my neurologist wants to add
Entacapone
to my 4x Levodopa per day regime to shorten my downtime, and I am uncertain whether it’s the way I want to go.

Rytary switching, tips from your success?
I decided against
entacapone
because I already take a few meds that are mildly anticholinergic and I don't want to add to that list. I'd like to hear from those who have successfully switched to Rytary, what to expect from the transition? Any tips?

COMT inhibitors
Hubby is doing really well at the moment and I think one of the things that has helped has been the introduction of 1/2 a
entacapone
tablet taken at the same time as his madopar/ mucuna doses.

Lots of OFF and Food interference
I've been offered to consider
Entacapone
, Neupro patch, Apomorphine sublingual, Rytary. All have pros and cons. I don't want to add to anticholinergic load, so as I understand, that leaves either adding Neupro low dose, or switching to Rytary.

HDT more or less
Currently I'm on levodopa and
entacapone
, taking meds at several intervals /day. As meds wear off before it is time for the next dose, I'm experiencing EXTREME fatigue. It's nearly impossible to stand or move. The fatigue comes on rapidly.

Anyone taking GOCOVRI?
I tried
Entacapone
before that and it gave me bad dreams. My questions are; 1) Have you used it? 2). Did/does it help? 3) It is very expensive, it costs $3,900/month. The speciality pharmacy gave me a special deal of $20/ month until I go in Medicare, which will be in January.

COMPT inhibitors friend or foe?
A physician (not mine ) has suggested
Entacapone
might help reduce the unwanted movement and increase the “on” time . I’m reluctant to add more drugs but diskenesia is limiting my daily activities and driving me to sit on the couch way too much. Any thoughts?

Weighing tablets
The measurements below are raw (uncalibrated) weights (mg) of Stalevo tablets (levodopa 75, carbidopa 18.57,
entacapone
200). 5 tablets were weighed from each of two batches. Each tablet (A to E) was weighed 3 times. The pills came from unopened plastic pill tubs, with a foil cover.
