Hello Brian et al,
I believe a pill that could be placed under the tongue to alleviate
'freezing' would indeed be a magic pill. However, since Patricia
indicated that her doctor knew something about this drug because he told
her it wasn't approved in the USA, I am curious as to what drug they
were discussing.
