need more than eldepryl for 71/2 woman


My mother 71/2 is currently on eldpryl but would like to add another drug
as she is starting to have:
balance problems
slowness
cramping of left foot

in addition to her tremor.  We're wondering whether she should wait for
Ropinirole (how long will it take?) or try one of the other drugs
often mentioned here (parlodel, permax, bromocriptine, amantadine,
apomorphine?).  We are trying to delay the start of Sinemet for as long
as possible.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated

Jane, daughter (jmasters@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) for
Jessie (jessieclay@xxxxxxx)

Thanks!
