Demerol is especially dangerous if one is taking Eldepryl. Better to avoid
it in any case if possible. All opiates can interfere with meds, and should
be avoided, which makes painkillers a problem in general. I tjhink TYlenol
is best bet.
Please someone post the lists we have of drugs to be avoided, as Hans has
not finished his "master list " yet.
