I am 41. A few months ago I was diagnosed as having PD. Because I'm running a (small) company, the Doc proposed starting with Prolopa (3x150) + Eldeypril (2x) each day. And indeed the symptons are visually cleared. But ... I am afraid that after 5, 6 years the medicines will lost their effect. So I'm going to stop the medication. Only during special periods (for example during vacations) when I can spend a lot of time with my wife and two kids (14-16) I intend to restart the cure, every time for a period of 2 months. I have two questions, first are there others with PD in your list below the age of 50 and what are their experiences with drugs, second is it possible without loosing the effects to restart and stop medication (3x a year) ?
