Dear Marty,
 I also was diagonsed in 1991.  I used to have trouble just like you untill
Dr Burns at the Cle. Clinic worked out a schedule...it took a year to find
out how to get the meds in me....

I take 1&1/2  yellow 25/100 and 1/2 pink Permax  (1Mg.)  5 x / Day.  at 006,
009,  1200, 1500,  &  1800 hrs.   (6-9-12-3-6pm.)

I also take 50mg of pamalar> at bed time to act as a sleep stabilizer.

I make my self do the PD exercises.  I Love mu8sic so when I feel really
depressed I put on my fm earpnones and make my self dance, alone, no one sees!!!

Blessings to you, marty
Paul
