Barbara--about the demerol, Mel was given Demerol in the hospital - I found out before the nurse left the room and called the Dr. He said stop the mirapex and give only sinemet 25/100 (the yellow plain) three times daily. I think the main problem is when one is on Elderpryl but Mel had not taken any of that for some time. He did fine. Seems the Dr. said that some people get an acute brain syndrome with the mixture. In other words, get confused, hallucinate, etc (Mel was already doing those things tho). [log in to unmask]
