I'm seeking a bit of guidance on this. I've seen the neuro today. He agrees I need treatment. He agrees l-dopa would make me fully functional. He sent me away with a script for Symmetrel! He told me it could take me 3 months to feel any benefit from it. He did agree - a touch reluctantly, perhaps even a little sheepishly - that if I were a guy with wife/family to support and at risk of losing my job he would not withhold l-dopa. (One good thing tho' - I did find out from him how/where to get my Selegiline cheaply. That's a relief.) Guess what folks? I'm not feeling so :) Getting ready to trash my research. I'd really like to hear from anyone who takes/has taken this med. And any other advice you care to fling my way will be welcome. Off-list is fine. Thanks, Beth
