Hi Renee, I have been taking cabergolide for several years now, as an alternative agonist to pergolide, which I had been using, and the results of the change were instant and very good. The side effects of my Madopar ( twisting and writhing ) disappeared overnight and my "on" times increased by about 30%. The other main benefit is that you only have to take it once per day. My personal opinion is that if you can get it in the USA, then go for it, it definitely worked for me, Regards Nigel 45/12 ----- Original Message ----- From: Renee Marton <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2000 8:24 PM Subject: cabergolide > Dear Dr. Linden, > Are you familiar with cabergolide?
