Tony,

If you can find anything on this can you please let us know. This is

something I have always believed that happened with my dad. He was on

propoxephine, too many, for arthritis in his back, before he was diagnosed.

At first we thought we were dealing with just propoxephine poisoning but then

ended up with SDS. I have lots of articles on propoxephine poisoning but

nothing about the destruction of dopamine cells.

Is there a way to find out if their has been a study like this?

Pam?
