Hi Trauti,

I guess I have a negative feeling re all these PD meds. I've taken  Rytary 
and  Rimantadine for over a year  now without trouble but no real help 
either.   Wonder how  the Tasigna trials are going.  The powers that be have 
a big  nerve preventing its approval for PD when so many approved PD meds 
have such dreadful side  effects.  Amantadine helped for about a  month 
before all hell broke lose.  I'm betting on the Rytary rather than PD 
progression because these are such powerful drugs.

I not only hate  getting worse but I can't fight so much anymore.

hi, ray! i'm not sure if amantedine is responsible for nic's
hallucinations or a progression of pd. my husband is getting them more
and more these days and the only pd medicine he takes are 2 rytary
61/245 per day. naturally, i have no way of knowing if the
levodopa/carbidopa might be the cause of this.

and yes - it's a hateful disease with no improvements in sight! :(
