Hi Roberta, I was diagnosed two years ago with rigidity , postural instability and bradykinesia, with minimal tremor. I too did not want to take anything but things got bad enough that I was given as a first line of defense eldpryl. It was absolutely miraculous and I take only 5mg each morning. It has been a year now and things are starting to recur so I am considering going to 1/2 tablet around 2 PM. Originally I was given 2 5mg tablets and I felt awful so my doctor backed it off to at first 1/2 tablet in the AM and then we upped it to 1 tablet. It does not hurt to go slowly. Hope this helps, Phyllis ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
