BRAND NAMES GENERIC Haldol haloperidol Trilafon or Triavil perphenazine Stelazine trifluoperazine Proloxin, permitil fluophenazine Navane thiothixine Moban malindone Mellaril thioridazine Thorazine chlorpromazine Loxitane oxapine Serpasil, Ser-Ap-Es, Diutensin, Diupres, Demi-Regroton, Salutensin reserpine pavabid papaverine Compazine prochlorperazine Reglan metoclopramide Torecan thiethylperazine Aldomet alpha-methyldopa Lithobid Lithium carbonate Taractan chlorprothixene Nardil Pheylzene Parnate Tranylcypromine Raudixin Rauwolfia Serpentina Rauverid none Wolfina none Harmonyl Deserpine Moderil Rescinnamine Rauwiloid none Dilantin Phenytoin Buspar Busparone Demerol Meperidene In addition, certain rare side effects have been described between Eldepryl (seleginine) andf the following drugs: Elavil amitriptyline hydrochloride Paxil parixetine Prozac fluoxetine Demerol Meperidene and other opiate drugs Zoloft sertraline This is not the most up-to-date list available - I will try and get you the latest list from the co-ordinator of our support group if you so desire. If you want it, and it is probably only in hard copy and I'm not a very good typist, if you want you can send me a mailing address (privately , if you like, to Frodoq and I promise not to put you on any junk mail list - wouldn't know how to even if I wanted to) and I can mail it to you. I am quite concerned that you appear to be taking medications that exacerbate each other and your conditions. I think I told you that my daughter may grow up oto be in a similar situation, as she already has a juvenile form of manic depression and if she is carrying a gene for PD.....! So I have tried to find out what I can. Hope you don't think I'm interfering. Hilary Blue
