I am a 50+ year old male in a "sales type" profession where I need to present and talk almost constantly. My current drug treatment consists of 6mg Diazepam in the morning plus Requip 2mg three times per day. I have been having significant issues with slurred speech. It seems to be worse when I am tired or stressed. Has anyone had any success with any programs designed to help this problem? I have looked into the LVST programs – are there any "Home Based – self guided" programs that I should consider? Does anyone know of any "Speech Related" trials that could be beneficial? Thanks for any help or advice! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn *** This Message Has Been Sent Using my BlackBerry
