I'm dx in 1994; now 57 years old; taking three drugs - Mirapex 3x1 and Riluzole 2x50 and Zoloft 2x50 for depression; Riluzole use is part of a controlled test run at Baylor College of Medicine (Joseph Jankovic); I take Viagra as needed. It is effective for its intended use - having as a side effect a tendency to get light headed when arising. It is a bitter-sweet relation -- Zoloft (delayed ejaculation) and Viagra (potentially prolonged erection). I'll be happy to share what I've experienced.
