You are unfortunate to have not only your husband but your Ex-Boss as sufferers of PD. Unfortunally I find it difficult to comment on the conclusion that Parlodel is the cause of your Ex-Boss's sickness. It is not a reaction that I have heard of before, but that doesn't rule it out. To tackle it from another direction: Parlodel is tending to give way to some of the more recent Dopamine Agonists as they are called these days. His doctors have a choice of Pergolide (Celance), Re-Quip (Ropinirole), (These are perhaps the most popular potions)- you could suggest that they replace the Parlodel, and see what happens. -- Brian Collins <[log in to unmask]>
