Dear Alan, As you may be aware, there are other meds out there that may help you wife. YOur decision to find a neurologist that will be more sympathetic to your wife's case is wise. In the end, if you have to pay out of pocket for this new doctor, you may find that you're actually saving time and money. Good luck. Please continue to let us know how your wife is doing. ---- Peace Mary Ann
