[log in to unmask] Stephen, There are several people in our support group, who hav been on Sinemet for more than 20 years. One even 26 years. All this without hallucinations. There are several people in this same group, who have experienced hallucinations. Almost all of them used Eldepryl. Cutting back on Eldepryl dosage, or eliminating it altogether put a stop to these hallucinations. Besides Eldepryl, there are other meds that can cause them. With all the evidence I have heard of, it seems wrong to associate hallucinations, or bad dreams, with Sinemet. Will A. Kuipers ( 76 / dx '91 ) [log in to unmask]
