Greg I don't have any documented evidence, but let's say I'm highly
suspect. I was having problems with fatigue and was having trouble
keeping my eyes open after about 3 o'clock at work. Permax has always
caused some stomach discomfort whether I took it before, after or during
a meal. I starting reducing my dosage and eventually quit taking it. The
stomach discomfort is gone and I'm not as fatigued at work. I had
reduced my dosage to 0.25 mg a day and my neuro said to not bother
taking it at that low a dosage.

My PD symptoms are worse, but the poison of the Permax side effects
wasn't worth the improvement. My neuro tells me this is all in my head -
symptom of depression. I tell her that anything is possible, but
depression seems like a low probability diagnosis. I've got things to do
and am highly motivated to do them. When I'm dragging around getting
dizzy, it's hard to get them accomplished.
