Hi, Celia: I, too, felt nauseated and dizzy when I first started taking Eldipryl. I had to start by taking half the dosage for a few weeks and gradually introduce the other half. A similar thing happened when I started taking Sinemet..I was dizzy, clammy...again I had to take 1/3 of the dose for a week or so and then 2/3, etc. Now, the only time I have any problem with any of the meds is if I don't take them with food. I had a habit, on the weekends, of drinking coffee for breakfast and lunch and not eating until dinnertime. I have had to give up that habit. I turned 51 last month so I guess I can still include myself in the 'young' Parkinson group. I also work full time and I'm just finishing three weeks vacation....back to work on Tuesday. :( Barb
