Jeanette, I went through an extensive screening process including blood chemistry and four EKGs initially and every three weeks plus a physical initially. I am on an agonist of some sort. That's all I've been told. There is only about a 20-25% chance of getting a placebo and I feel received the agonist because of the nausea during titration weeks. I started screening 12/15/99 and I'm finished 4/15/00. They need volunteers desperately.

Do you have to be monitored daily, weekly or bi-weekly in Phase II trials?

Did I tell you I was participating in the Transdermal Patch Phase II trials. Unfortunately, it is being received coolly by the PWP community as only 20 patients have been enrolled nationally. There is a good chance it may not go forward for lack of volunteers. I find the patch very agreeable after the first two weeks and the study has made me realize how under-medicated I was.
