Janet, Thanks for the reply. Gerry's current meds: 2 sinemet 25-100 reg every 3 hours when awake....ususally 3 to 5 times a day 1/2 clozaril 25mg 1xday at night florinef 0.1 mg for low blood pressure (which has been very good lately) timoptic and xalatan for glaucoma many other meds have been tried....mirapax. eldepril, but side effects have been too much other medical conditions: orthostatic hypotension, glaucoma, enlarged prostate but basically incontinent now so no meds for it, sleep apnea Drs: Switched from Neurologist to movement disorder specialist about a year ago. The movement Dr is extremely well known for PD, recommended to us by the National Parkinsons Foundation. (Dr Phillip Ballard in Seattle). Gerry's primary physician is a well respected endocronologist. Although only diagnosed 7 years ago, Gerry (an MD too, but Psychiatry type) has known he has PD for about 15yrs. Does this help paint the picture? Lorrie BTW, Kudos for the list. I discovered it last October and found many useful things through the archives and from members at that time. Thanks for the service.
