I take  four 1 mg tablets of Permax and have for about a year.  I
confess except at the beginning when I had petite hallucinations
(transitory perceptions of objects in the peripheral vision and
misperceiving objects, usually turning inanimate objects (ashtray,
newspaper) into animate ones (cats,etc.), but just for a fraction of a
second) I have had no problems.  My PD symptoms are mainly slowness and
rigidity and not tremor.  I also take Prozac (20mg/day) Sinemet CR
25/100  4 times each day, and 1/2 Sinemet NON-CR 4 times/day. I am 60
years old and was diagnosed about 7 years ago.  In retrospect, my
earliest symptom was progressive loss of sense of smell, noticed about
30 years ago. I have never at any point noticed anything lateralized in
my symptoms.  (I've sort of got carried away with my autobiography, but
that's prozac for you.)
