Dennis, So you've been to the archives Bravo ! ..A true researcher.. And you are preparing for a Pallidotomy < early in 1997>,,, another Bravo! Yes, sometimes I enjoy my sleepy time as I go from off to on; but untill now I hadn't realized the possible mechansim involved...You dug that out of the Archuves no doubt. Back in 1989, however, while I was still workng professionally, drowsing in the middle of the day was a genuine nuisance. Then along came Eldepryl, and, after an initial struggle with the dosage appropriate for me, and careful titrating dosage and timing with my neurologist that problem was solved. [log in to unmask]
