For about 6 months I gradually became more and more paranoid - I believed that my wife was plotting against me - and so on. The terrible thing about it is that at the time it all seems so logical. Luckily I realised what was going on and promptly took myself off the Parlodel. I soon returned to normal and was appalled at what had been happening. I had a few sharp words with my neuro. as well! Am I correct in assuming frem your Email that you are still taking Parlodel, and taking Clozoril to counteract the paranoia ? It sounds like a most dangerous course to take, particularly as there are better drugs available (such as Celance (Pergolide, Permax), which have far fewer side effects Brian Collins <[log in to unmask]>
