I've been taking it for hypertension for nearly 3 years now. It works for my hypertension - but does it work for PD? I have no idea. People tell me they believe my progression is slow. I really can't say.

But what I know is that I am in this for the ong haul. What if this works but it takes 5-7-10 years for Isradipine to work? Our clinical trials run for such a short time that i do wonder if some new or previously studied treatments might have shown efficacy if they only had had more time.

I am in SPECT B-CIT trials and I have asked the lead researcher at the IND to share copies of my brain scans with the Isradipine researchers. My brain scans might be good for anecdotal evidence if nothing else.
