Cindy,
I actually did a study from a group here that pays medical professionals about different drugs and their uses. I don't know why or how I was chosen to be in this group, but they sent me some information and a very interesting website about pseudobulbar affect. I can get the information for you when I return to the office next week. It's very common in MS and stroke patients-much more so than most physicians are diagnosing it. There are quite a number of medications that they are testing for it at present. Most patients when asked believed that they were depressed when indeed it was not depression. These patients often have innappropriate laughing and crying spells. It was quite interesting to learn about it. Let me know if you'd like the website or any information I can send to you.

*I also got a lovely pen from the drug company that has a purple light on the end of it when you write with it*
