> Subject: Ecstasy for Parkinsons? > From: "Peyton, Ronald" <[log in to unmask]> > Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2001 16:40:04 -0500 Is anyone aware of any studies done on claimed benefits of ecstasy for parkinsons? I have an acquaintance whose pd tremors are worse than mine, and he claims while under ecstasy's influence, his tremors cease. He does not take ecstasy for the "high" as he is no longer to obtain a high from the drug due to the lack of dopamine receptors he has thanks to pd. He does ecstasy when he is in a social environment and wants his tremors under control and claims it works better than any of the other drugs he takes (primarily sinemet). Does anyone know of anything credible along this line other than just individual claims? Thanks.
