Hello. I am writing for my father who has Parkinson's. He even hates that word. Unlike many of you, he was relatively late onset - around 70 - and had a couple of good reprieves. But he is now 82 and in a terrible exacerbation (as they say). Days and nights are full of anxiousness and restlessness. Little sleep at night, if any some nights. Does anyone know of sleeping agents that are surefire? He is one of those folks who cannot take Sinemet (that word I hate) and is having an awful time. We have tried all sorts of combinations, never hitting the right one, it seems. He gets very anxious - he was always a nervous type - and wound up. Symptoms are much worse than they were, including new ones like severe drooling. It is driving him nuts. My mother just had a stroke and we are sure it is stress related. So, alleviating his problems would help her too. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, JH for Innsbruck
