Barb,
This listserv has published a list of contra-indicated drugs a while back. I am
sure it can be recalled from the archives.
However, to be of practical value, it was not directly in a handy shape. For
purposes of having it available at all times, it should be reduced in size.
I carry a list with me in my billfold, that fits in there marvelously.
On the front it identifies me as a Parky and tells people unfamiliar with the
disease, that I am not intoxicated.
The list is published by the
National Parkinson Foundation

Everyone with PD should have such a list. It can be extremely important, because
certain combinations of meds and drugs are lethal.
Good Luck,
Will
