Your doctor is rigth.This is common with the kind of meds yours husband is taking. 2. I would'nt mind much about the case and would try to fill the time doing anything interesting such as readings,watch TV,ligth work etc.etc. 3. I would try to take Eldepryl only in the morning and observe the results after some days or week.Depending on the results I would try other actions.
