  In response to your request for info from others having reactions to
Parlodel,  I had the very same reaction--very faint, nauseous, and profuse
cold sweat.  This was in July after my first dose after an attempt at
switching from Amantadine which had been giving only moderate benefit. The
two waves of this occurred over about 40 minutes after having taken the dose
three hours before.
  My doctor, a PD specialist, said that this was a low blood pressure
reaction and that this severity was very rare.  He took me off the
bromocriptine and put me back on amantadine.  If I were to try Parlodel
again,  I would start w/ smaller doses and would take with food.  I had not
eaten earlier on the day of the reaction.  I do not recall what my dose was.
