Re: Reaction to Parlodel
I read ur listing about your problems with Parlodel. I had a terrible reaction, paranoia and hallucinations until "I was put on" Clozoril. Wonderful drug but a pain in the backside because of the weekly blood tests which would indicate a sudden lose of white cells leading to lukemia. After almost two years of this med and as a result of my May Pallidot. we are beginning a seri ousreductioninallmymeds. It was decided to reduce the Parlodel and Sinemet CR on a controlled basis. We are reducing the Parlodel weekly. I now take 7 x 2.5mg a day EAch week we;ll be reducing a 1/2 tab for the next four weeks. The CR has already been reduced more than 50%. AFter a few weeks I will be able to drop 1/2 tab of Clozoril every few weeks. I currently take 1 at 0600 and 2.5 at midnight. Keep me informed on the list of your progress and Ill do the same. Joyce
