Steve-
I don't pretend to know anything about basal ganglia shrinkage, but if you are concerned about its effects because of symptoms you are having, I would contact the VA. As a veteran, I feel strongly that they should perform and pay for any testing necessary. At the risk of sounding schmaltzy, I believe your country owes that to you.On the other hand, if the medication you are taking works for you, I would not be so quick to abandon it. It's obvious by reading the other posts that it sometimes takes months -or even years- of experimenting with different drugs to find one that provides some relief.
If you look hard and long enough, you can find an article somewhere that will scare the s*** out of you about anything you take or do.
Incidentally, my son just walked in here and told me that he heard it could be fatal to eat raw cookie dough. In that case, I would have been dead a long time ago.
