You have no doubt read of my harrowing experiences woth Parlodel. I started in/about '93 and am still on it...but with the help of CLOZORIL the paranoia etc has been controled. In my last neuro meeting I asked about stopping this becauz of the weekly inconvenience of blood tests to get a CLOZORIL renewal (monthly tests in europe) Dr. Fahn suggested I begin the Praipexol (sp) in a few months. Naturally I agreed. In the meantime, we have agreed to reduce the dosage by 1/2 pill a day every week. I find that I am very stiff now having come down about 1/2 of previous total but I DONT WANT TO GO BACK UP AGAIN> Dont know what to do !! Joyce
