Margie, Thanks so much for your comments regarding the side effects of Artane and Eldepryl. They, indeed, had nasty side effects and, as you surmised, put me off all meds. I'm glad to hear that sinemet has fewer side effects. I know I will get there eventually. For now, however, I value my ability to think clearly and be as free from drugs as possible. Nevertheless, I will not hesitate to call for sinemet when necessary. Thanks again and good luck with Dick. Gray
