been taking eldepryl since it was approved, 10+ yrs ago. I feel it has slowed up the pd so much, that even now still functioning with little discomfort.... just lucky I guess....by the way the other item I take for pd is vit. E, 800 mg daily.....so far nothing else except for my blood pressure, and anti cholesterol stuff, enough for a morning menu .... hearing of so many side effects of other stuff strenghtens my resolve to fight them off till I am in real trouble....... besst regardssssssss. bernardo ----------
