Rita, I am sorry to hear of your reactions to Benedryl. --- one of the mysteries of Parkinson's ---the wide variety of reactions each of us has to the different medications. I I recognise that it is not a viable option for everyone.Fortunately, for me, it is a wonderful alternative to prescription sleeping pills. I have also used it from time to time to help smooth out the side effects caused by my long, long-time use of Sinemet. Here's to better days ahead for us all.........Terrie
