Only a fairly small percentage of PWPs suffer from this, but I should have listed it as a genuine side effect. I won't argue about 3:30 pm and Mid-day - The point is that Eldepryl can cause some pretty weird dreams, T stopped taking it because of those side effects. The whole point of my case is that when PD has progressed for a few years, NONE of the Dopamine agonists can compete with Sinemet for effectiveness. Unless some wonder-drug appears, you wil quite simply have to cope with levodopa. It is really not difficult, the nausea can be overcome quite simply. Regards, -- Brian Collins <[log in to unmask]>
