HI, i have had PD for a long long time now, and it took 9 years froom the first time i couldnt keep the food on the fork, till i was finally diagnosed.. .. But the fact that you mention MELLARIL interests me. I assumes you must haves hads a bout with depresseion. Did you know that a significant number of pwp report a bout of depression some time before the onset of PD? My husband took mellaril many years ago for manic depression,, and as a side effect developed a condition called tardive dyskinesia - i believe a tremor around the moouth.It wase treated wih ARtane, wicn has beev used to treat PD hilary bkue davidmeigs wrote: > > Linda, > > I was so glad to hear back from someone so soon.
