That is really scary stuff, I looked at it the other day, and thanked heaven that I have not ever taken any of those drugs. However I do know someone whose young son was put on Ritalin - he was a mess anyway, but I guess he would have grown out of it, but I don't know whether he will come back again from the drugs. I always had an anti medication attitude prior to PD, and now I am on 5 different ones, and could have been on several more if I had allowed it.

Was offered one of the sleep ones at my last neuro appointment, I politely declined (though I remember having a horrified face!) I would rather stay awake, than take the things. I know not everybody can cope with insomnia, but there has got to be better ways than a chemical cosh. Actually I think I would rather get drunk (and I don't drink.....)

Extrapolate to the whole of the drug industry........

We need to take care of what we are doing .... sorry, taking.
