This past week I have been feeling better - and needing fewer meds. I have made no changes in my routine. And maybe I should wait and see if I still feel better next week (and the next) before I post anything ... but it just makes me so glad, I wanted to share!

Maybe it's Isradipine? After a 18 months of taking it, maybe my dopamine cells are less stressed?

Maybe it's supplements I'm taking??

I don't know. I just hope this feeling continues.

Cheers to all

Im so glad Isradipine seems to be working for you, but have you tried to renew your perscription lately? I have receintly experanced a rise in my blood pressure ( proebly due the economy/politocol mess we are in), and had my doctor write a script for Isradipine. I sent it to my mail away provider (a very large pharma supplier) and they sent it back to me saying that it is no longer available. I ran a search with Google and found a bulliten that said GSK had purchased the patient for (Dynacirc) brand name and the generic name Isradipine and that they had ceased production and did not know if or when production would resume. I'm thinking I smelling a rat. what do you think? The brand name pat, appears to have ran out. Are they going tomarket it as a new PD med and sell it for big bucks when they do? What do you think is going on?

Be safe---Geraldo

Geraldo,

i had not heard this - this is bad news! I'm going on a trip tomorrow but will check with my Dr when I get back. (but given the news you found out ... can I expect anything different?)

RATS ! I have no idea, but it sure doesn't sound good.

I'll be in touch.
