He goes from non-functional to running in no time. During one such episode he fell, badly injuring is leg. What's the answer to this hyper-activity?? I dunno. Charlie's comment on the Tardive Dyskinesis that occurs with some psychotropic drugs is a subject I've wanted to broach with this list for some time. Jamie's hyperactivity could certainly be defined as Tardive Dyskinesis - the movements are the same. This problem only began with he started taking Mirapex. I suspect that the Mirapex causes him to have hyper-sensitivity to Sinemet. He seems to be either under-dosed or over-dosed. The 'dance' is part of his toxic symptoms. I'm going to be interested to read the other replies to your question, Steve. Maybe we can all get some hints about how to slow down the 'dance. ----- Regards Mary Ann (CG Jamie 59/19)
