I am finding lately that it comes when the next Sinemet is due. Are these periods of great fatique part of the on/off syndrome? I am crying at the oddest times and I did not associate that with Pd before. Can someone explain the "tears" and PD? My nuro has given me Xanax (Alprazolam 25mg) for anziety and it seems to work for the times I feel depressed. I take 1/2 a pill and the depression seems to lift quickly. At the suggestion of my doctor, I am seeing a counselor for mild depression and the question we all have is: iwhat causes the depression that goes with Pd? Is it a chemical reaction, a reaction to having a long term progressive disease, or what?! Last question: The drugs used in the new Phen-Fen program produce dopomine and seratonin ...iare there any connections between these and PD? Can a PD person use them safely?
