Ginkgo is supposed to be a no-no for Parkies because it can cause hallucinations, etc. I, too, have been on Paxil for a couple of years. It certainly is a drug. And it certainly is habit-forming, like a lot of other drugs that are useful and necessary for a reasonable quality of life for certain people. But I guess I'd agree with any judge who put a stop on advertising Paxil--and lots of other drugs. People with uncomfortable symptoms ought to report them to their docs and let the docs suggest. -----Original Message----- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Donald F.
