I take other drugs besides Eldepryl, but when I first started taking it, I had trouble sleeping at night. My doctor's nurse (not the doc) said to take it in the a.m. and at noon.....not at night. That worked just great! Never had trouble sleeping! (still do not have any trouble sleeping).
I cannot speak on the other items because I already take Mirapex, Sinemet CR and am going to try to stop Amantadine.
I am a 58 yrs. old female.....diagnosed in 1995.
Best wishes.

Hi Everybody. I am a newcomer to the list. I am 59 years old and have had PD for 10years. I have been following the mail on the merits of Requip vs Sinemet with interest. Since my diagnosis my Doctor has prescribed Eldepryl (Selegilene) 10mg per day to delay as long as possible, he says the sideaffects of taking Levdopa.
Orginally PD only affected my RHS, but recently the tremour/stiffness has also shifted to my LHS .
I am also now finding it difficult to sleep at night. Has anybody had a similar experience with the use of Eldepryl.?
My concern is at what point should I be moving on to either Requip or Sinemet.?
