For slow, safe med reduction info, download Janice Walton-Hadlock's book on The Medications of Parkinson's Disease - Once Upon A Pill. There is a chapter on how to safely reduce meds. I've tried it w/ good results. Good luck. Ibby

Ibby, before the Mirapex nightmare one of the neuro students who tested me said my balance was 100% and the same comment was made "I would not know that you had pd". That was three years ago. I am off Mirapex and all the terrible side effects that you have heard about ceased but I have failed to stabilize because I have this 11 yr. dopamine habit. I know of Janice Walton - Hadlock and a couple of her former clients. Interesting reading "Once Upon a Pill" and impressive that it is free. She also has another free download book "Recovery From Parkinson's Disease" I question her foot theory but many of her observations are bang on.
