NANCY, #1. Be sure that the people running your unnamed agonist study are aware of ALL medication changes. #2. I've been taking 2 Eldepryl tablets or capsules every day since late 1991 except for 10 day periods before planned hospitalizations which involve anesthesia.. The drug was discovered in Communist Hungary and first clinically tested by a neurologist / former member of Hitler's secret police during the NAZI regime. It still works just fine for me. The generic version is much less expensive. The name brand in Hungary is extremely cheap, but just as good. Will Johnnston A.P.D.A.

Although I have found Amantadine to be very helpful at reducing extreme fatigue, I have been having unpleasant side effects (swelling ankles and "livido reticularis"). I have (with MD concurrance) been slowly phasing it out. It has been suggested I might try taking Eldepryl (selegiline) instead. I have read the PDR literature on this and I think it looks kind of extreme and maybe risky. Does anyone on the list have experience with Eldepryl, good or bad? I am also taking an unnamed dopamine agonist, in a long term clinical trial. So far, my approximately 18 month experience with this new agonist is very positive, with no noticeable side effects.
