Ritalin for PD?

[mwright305@comcast.net]

Hi everyone,
I am fairly new to this site and very glad I found it. I have learned so much from all of you and Lianne's book.
I was wondering if anyone had any information, or has had any experience in using Ritalin in PD to help with concentration, cognition, and sleepiness? I read an article appx. a year ago which discussed a study relating to this, and for the life of me I can not locate it. I am going to accompany my husband to the neurologist next month and I want to discuss this with him. I would be interested in any thoughts you may have on this.
Thank you all for the great information that you share about your trials, tribulations, and successes with PD. It has helped my family more than you know.
Mary
