in response to Marvin GIles: I read with interest the fact that your sleep pattern has changed since starting to use your PD meds. You say that you wake up about seven hours sfter taking your meds. Well, in a leaflet in the UK version of Eldepryl, it specifically states that you should, quote: AVOID TAKING ELDEPRYL AT NIGHT TIME AS IT MAY STOP YOU SLEEPING. unquote. also: The usual dose is 10mg taken in the morning. I pass this on to you for what its worth. Don't let them get you down. If your average family doctor is as knowledgeable about PD as mine, (who freely admits that I must know more than he does) you must keep reading this list so that you can find out about it for yourself.
