The sweets question hit me too cause I would always op for salt rather than something sweet. Chocolate gives me migraines. Lately I find that I sneak things out of my grandaughter"s Easter basket and buy candy just for me (I hide it). I have taken Eldepryl (sp?) and quit cause it did nothing, Requip, same thing, amantadine and quit because my feet looked like little sausages (swollen), sinemet CR and finally backed down to 1/2 tablet a day then quit cause it made my right foot jump around. So I don't think in my case I can blame medicine. So who knows?????? By the way any suggestions what meds I haven't tried that would help the rigidity and orthostatic hypotension?
