HI,
i have had PD for a long long time now, and it took 9 years froom the first
time i couldnt keep the food on the fork, till i was finally diagnosed.. ..
 But the fact that you mention MELLARIL interests me. I  assumes you must
haves hads a bout  with depresseion.  Did you know that a significant number
of pwp report a bout of depression some time before the onset of PD?
My husband  took mellaril many years  ago for manic depression,, and as a side
effect developed a condition called  tardive dyskinesia - i believe a tremor
around the moouth.It wase treated wih ARtane, wicn has beev used to treat PD
