I appreciate the info, Franny.
Snce I started taking Isradipine, I haven't had any side effects, other than sleepiness. I'm not sure if it's helping with PD, but it works for my blood pressure - and I like to think it is extending the time between increases of Ropinirole dosages.
Good luck with everything.
