Just in case anyone new to Deprenyl/selegiline/Eldepryl might think that it should be taken at bedtime (since Brian was told to take it then) - this drug, although it is given twice daily, should be given with breakfast and again at noon- definitely not later than say 2pm because it is well known to keep people awake. A thought Brian: perhaps if you had not taken it so late at night you wouldn't have had hallucinations? Did you try taking it in the am and noon? Whilst most neurologists know this (by now anyway..) sometimes they neglect to tell their patients and unless someone has a circle of friends with PWP they often suffer sleepless nights for a long time until the penny drops! Some of our members who have been hopitalized have had major battles with nursing staff/ resident doctors who insist on giving this medication in the morning and evening (as many twice daily medications are given). I suggest anyone who is being hospitalized make sure that this information is written on their chart and that it is made very clear to all concerned. Sincerely Joy Graham (CG Bob, 57, 8 yrs)
