Hi Gerry and others: When I was in a study for Rasagiline, which is more or less Selegiline which is Eldepryl, I was told not to take Benedryl--but--CAUTION-- I BELIEVE, but don't know the whole story, that Benedryl is contraindicated for PWPs generally, but I think some people take it. I think since Benedryl is like an epinephrine(sp?) or adrenaline type of drug--and Eldepryl metabolizes to an extent at least, into an amphetamine(sp?), and these are similar stimulants, it could be dangerous--However, I would think they would clear up a rash rather than cause one--but I really can't say. Also, if he went swimming in a stagnant pond he might have "em- fa - ti - go" --no idea how to spell it--or some such thing--like poison ivy or oak or God knows what. Look through the archives? Can't Ivan search the numerous PD links? Is he without a computer or so indisposed that he can't manage. He might try topical, spray Benedryl. Good luck to you and Ivan Charlotte On Tue, 6 Aug 2002 11:55:37 EDT Gerry Haines <[log in to unmask]> writes: > I tried to get on last night for Ivan but we had bad thunderstorms > and our > phone went out after I talked to him. > He went into a pond of water and developed a rash on his legs, his > question: > Is there a reaction between eldepryl and Benedryl?
