Dear Jacob,

What a great description!  Over the next few months, neurologists will have
to add that word to their charts as we all now know what to call it. I may
have had something like that (to me, a claustrophobic feeling), before we
knew I had PD.  My Internist prescribed Clonazepam (Klonopin)--an anti-anxity
drug.  I take one-half of a 1MG ahead of time when I expect trouble.  For me,
it works quickly. Later, the Neuro agreed that It was OK to continue to use
Clonazepam, as needed, along with my Requip.
I have read that, to some, this class of drugs, benzodiazepines, can be
addicting, but I can now go for weeks without even that half pill--but, I
always try to remember to have some around in my pocket before visits to the
dentist, crowded places, etc.
