With a new clinical trial it brings up the question of how many PD patients have already tried Isradipine?

Try looking up my US friend Steve's blogsite:

He has been on Isradipine since 2007

Good luck. If my forum does not allow me to post a URL -as I am a new member, Google search Parkinsonsfocustoday

Wow! This is really a great site. Thanks so much for the lead. I have been on Azilect but am planning to try Isradipine. I'm surprised there isn't more about it in the literature.

Who is Steve? He writes well and sounds like a conservative scientist.

I've been on Isradipine since 2007 as well.

And how have you done with it? What else do you take?

Robert

Robert, I'm doing fine - no problems with dynacirc cr. (I've been taking it since Dr. Surmeir spoke at PAN a couple of years ago - 2007?) it controls my hypertension. of course i have no evidence of what it does for pd. BUT i have had spect scans in 2003-05-07-09 (from a different clinical trial) and I hope at some point that they can be sent to dr. surmeir for anecdocal data if nothing else.

i think my pd progression is slow - haven't had to adjust my meds in quite a while - nearly 2 years maybe.

current meds: azilect, stalevo 100 3x, mirapex .25 3x, requip xl 3 tablets 1x, dynacirc cr 5mg 2x, lexapro 1.0
