Hi, My name is Marvin Weiss, and I have had PD for about 12 years now and I am 48 years old. The reason for my asking for help is not for me but for one of my members in the support group. I am the President of the Young Onset (PD) support group for the State of NJ. Well, Fred, that is his name is 65/15 with sever dementia and hallucinations. He has no dyskenisia's or tremors to speak of. He does have rigidity, and balance problems like we all have. His medication schedule is approx. 6 25/100, 2 - 3 CR, 1 dprenyl, max out on permax, and clozaril for his hallucinations. His neuro. is a doctor very well respected in the PD field, as a matter of fact is head of a movement disorder clinic. I just had a call from his wife saying that Fred had a very bad day. He was hallucinating that there was a group of people out his backyard today and that he even lowered the window to talk to them. Well there was nobody crazy enough to be oustide his window during a Rain/Snow storm that we had today. He is not taking any anti-depresents like Paxil, Zoloft ect. because it would have adverse reaction to clozril. To compound matters, Fred is a retired OB/GYN MD. Any thoughts or comments would be helpful. Regards, Marv Weiss 48/12 Bilaterall Paliditomy Oct 1995
