Julius I was just passing this info along. Since I don't take PD meds I don't have hallucinations or serious sleep problems. When my mother was on a morphine patch before her death, she thought someone was trying to burn the house down. What disturbs me is the recent promotion of Requip and Mirapex in TV ads for RLS without mentioning they are powerful PD meds. There is certainly a great need for better drugs and treatments.
