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.
