Debbie - << in older PD patients (don't know whether 64 would fall into that category), Artane is not recommended because it can cause confusion, etc. My mother has tried to come off the Artane but feels worse. >> Dick was on Cogentin (similar to Artane) for many years. Once he started seeing a movement disorder specialist, he was urged to come off the Cogentin, even though he was probably only 43 at the time. He tried several times to stop the Cogentin, but felt so bad while withdrawing that he went back on it. He was finally able to withdraw by cutting the little pills in fourths and taking 3/4 tablet for awhile, then 1/2, etc. Maybe that would work for your mom. Margie Swindler cg for Dick, 55/18
