sorry i didn't answer your question Bill. i took eldepryl (early 90s) - it was selegiline and was supposed to 'slow the progression of pd" - but it wasn't proven. Patients didn't hear the last part of that statement.

here we are 2008, with a new med that they "think slows the progression of pd" - delivered by authors in gobbledegook and admitting "i was paid by the owner of this drug."

Why don't they add, "bet we didn't even need to rename it."

But on top of all my ranting, it also sounds like it doesn't work for you Bill. no experience with it.
