That I know of there is not a generic to comtan. I have gotten a rx for generic sinemet from my primary care doc. My neuro won't even write for that, since he wants me to stay with the Stalevo and as he put it "find a way to pay for it." so now instead of Stalevo every 4 hrs I am taking 1 -1/2 sinemet every 2 hrs. Oh well, if I can get through this next month or so I'm scheduled for DBS in October. Thanks for the suggestion on generics-that's all I've ever taken. The best I can find is a discount card but that would still cost about 500.00 a month. Thanks
