I used to take levodopa and eldepryl and notice to appear minor side
effects such as dry mouth , slight blurred vision and minor miction
problem . I quit eldepryl and these symptoms disappeared . Have you ever
did suspend or done a holiday on eldepryl ?

You take as you had described previously quite a mix of drugs and
supplements.Don't you believe it is very hard to pin point how each one
do interfere with each other in your case ? And which are really doing
your improvements ?
