Over the next few months, neurologists will have to add that word to their charts as we all now know what to call it. I may have had something like that (to me, a claustrophobic feeling), before we knew I had PD. My Internist prescribed Clonazepam (Klonopin)--an anti-anxity drug. I take one-half of a 1MG ahead of time when I expect trouble. For me, it works quickly. Later, the Neuro agreed that It was OK to continue to use Clonazepam, as needed, along with my Requip. I have read that, to some, this class of drugs, benzodiazepines, can be addicting, but I can now go for weeks without even that half pill--but, I always try to remember to have some around in my pocket before visits to the dentist, crowded places, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsnGet more from the Web.
