Hi Helen.... WHEW! Ya took all three of the daily dose of Ditropan at ONE TIME? I get soooo sleepy from even one tablet of it, that I'm afraid I'd end up not waking up --- EVER --- if I took three at once!! That one pill just about knocked me out completely (heavy duty ZZZZZZ's!) and so today I broke it in half and'll continue with 1/2 doses throughout the day and'll see how THAT works. The urologist ok'd that, but says he's not used to his patients TELLING him what they're going to do instead of CONSULTING him for his advice! I told 'em he's not used to Parkies then! <grin> Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Helen Jc <[log in to unmask]> To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tuesday, October 20, 1998 11:47 PM Subject: Re: Incontinence >Barb - Now that we are being so candid I'll say that I to had the problem big >time.
