Hi John C. in Sunny Oklahoma!    We're just cozying up to a blustery ice
storm here in upstate NY.   <sigh>
 
 
My dad (who has ET and PD) tried Prozac in addition to his propanylol and
sinemet.  He insisted that the Prozac made him weaker.  He refused to
continue taking it after 5 days.  He didn't look weaker to me, but I wasn't
able to persaude him to try it any longer.
 
It was disappointing.  We'd had high hopes.
 
What recommendations do any of you have for a medication that might help him
with his anxiety and depression?
 
He's 76.
Valium makes him fall down.
Doxapin is suspected to have contributed to his prostate problems.
Right now he's not taking any kind of anti-depressant.
