I have been trying to put off the PD drugs as long as I can, but my left side tremor is sometimes almost unbearable. I say "almost" only because I have survived it, but when I have a migraine the tremor increases dramatically and I sometimes think I cannot bear it any longer. I have been on Eldepryl only for eight years. I know some of you think that to be martyrdom, but it generally hasn't felt that way. Do any of you get migraines? What have you found that helps? Does your Parkinson's medication affect the migraines? I am thinking of starting Amantadine. I know it isn't always effective for tremor, but it seems the least harmful of the PD medications. Do any of you have experience using Amantadine with just Eldepryl? or Amantadine alone, or Amantadine with any other drugs? I'd like to hear both favorable and unfavorable experiences. Thank you for any light you can shed on the matter. Aloha, Joan Dykstra (56/8)
