We've heard over and over from our doctors that Eldepryl (Selegiline) doesn't work well for those suffering PD. Yet every time we try to stop the drug, my husband's condition deteriorates. Eldepryl works for him - we don't know why, but it does. He does have a very unusual case of YOPD, so the dynamics at work in other cases might not apply to him. The moral of the story is......if the drug works for an you, keep it - if it doesn't, drop it. Don't worry about what the literature says. ------ God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 61/21)
