Funny some asked about this drug - cause in yesterdays local paper
the "dear doctor" column had a question about it.
It seems the woman taking it was nervous/sleepless and developing tremors.
I seem to recall that that series of anti-depressants (nortryptaline - "Pamelor")
are among those not recommended for PD patients becuase of some of the PD-like
side effects - which obviously a person with PD does not want.
Usually the SSRI series is better.
Anyone have any other info ? Charlie ? any pharmacists ?
best wishes to all
