Charlie, Yes. Just before I was diagnosed with PD four years ago, I sometimes felt an irresistible urge to get up and leave the room. I would walk down the hall a short distance, turn around, and come back. A few minutes later I would do it again. I felt like screaming, but did not make a sound. Then I got the urge to leave the room again. I was frantic. It hasn't happened since the Eldepryl started to work. So it has a name: akethesia. I would be interested in more information.

We might try to pull those out of the archives if it fits what people are experiencing. Charlie
