When I started on Carbidopa, I never expected I'd be able to write as well as I can now. I was shaking that bad in my right hand. I'm tickled that it's turned out the way it has.

This medication does not alleviate any cold symptoms except congestion. The taste is awful and causes a complete loss in appetite. Only used a few times then switched to another, better cold medicine.
