Two questions: 1. Has anyone ever heard of Epilim/Volpro (normally used to treat epilepsy) being used to treat pain? A friend, whose husband has advanced PD with all sorts of complications including prostate cancer has been advised to go on it- as a substitute for morphine which he has been on for some time, for pain. He is not an epileptic. I have refered my friend to our consultant pharmacist, but thought I'd ask the list too. The generic name for Epilim - is sodium volproate. 2. Has anyone any experience with the drug Dissipal in Parkinson's Disease. What benefits and side effects did you experience? Thanks Joy graham
