Entacapone
Hi I was weaned off Mirapexin due to spending issues and weaned on
Entacapone
. My partner said my mood swings on this were awful. I never felt lime me and felt mad and aggressive as if I wanted to murder someone!! Hence I've stopped it completely. Has anyone else had similar problems??

Comtan (entacapone)
I only take 1/2 of a 25/50 pill at a time but it would be great if I would be able to stretch that out to every 8 hours before symptoms start in again https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Parkinson’s Disease copy/paste fromThe Clinician's Handbook of Natural Medicine
. ● Tolcapone (Tasmar) or
entacapone
(Comtan): inhibit dopamine breakdown. ● Anticholinergic drugs: for resting tremor. ● Clozapine: for levadopa-induced dyskinesias. (Note: All these medications can produce hallucinations and daytime somnolence.)

Has anyone had problems with Entacapone (Comtan) side effects.
I have tried using
ENTACAPONE
2 times. This time I used it for 4 weeks. I was taking 1 200 mg tablet every 4 hours 6 times a day. It did it's job it extended my on time about 30 minutes from 3 hours to 3 hours 30 minutes. But the side effects were not worth it.

Entacapone
Has anyone tried
Entacapone
? How do you afford it if you have a moderate income. The wealthy can afford it and the people with less money get it free.

Rasagiline (Azilect) and entacapone comparison
I'm interested in comparing rasagiline (Azilect) with
entacapone
. Has anyone had experience with taking both of them but at different times? Can you compare how each affected your PD symptoms? Can you compare the negative side effects of each? Thank you.

Problems using extended release types of Carbidopa Levodopa.
I have used Rytary, extended release Carbidopa Levodopa,
Entacapone
(Comtan) with the same results. At first they help but after a week or so they start to fail. My on time becomes shorter and my off times get longer and harder with more pain and other side effects.

ENTACAPONE OR ANOTHER EXTENDER?
has anyone felt that when taking
entacapone
with L-dopa it makes you feel worse. I stopped several days ago and feel my more normal self. Is there another drug that can extend L-dopa that may work better.

Xadago (Safinamide)in UK.
However, i ended up with a geriatrician who confused Xadago with
Entacapone
- a COM-T inhibitor (completely different drug type) and told me to take Xadago 5 times a day in place of
Entacapone
_ whilst still, of course, taking Rasagaline. This could easily have been fatal.
