Helen: A direct side effect for me in taking Eldepryl is insomnia. My
neurologist has prescribed a sleeping pill called Ambien (10 mg) that
works miracles for me with no apparent after effect. I use Ambien nightly.
On three separate, non-consecutive occassions I THOUGHT I had taken my
Ambien and did not fall asleep till 8 am only to discover my pill still
on the night table the following morning. It works for me, perhaps it
will work for your friend.
