DBS treatment does not mean that you are cured of PD. It is still there.

I had a bad reaction to carbidopa-levodopa and stopped after just 5 days. I was nauseous but mostly my head felt strange and I could barely function. I would be very interested in hearing about your reaction/allergy to this drug if you took that one.

My nephew had the DBS put in this past summer. He was taking 6-8 carbidopa/levodopa 4 times a day plus other meds. He is only taking 1 c/l 3 times a day. His tremors are gone, his speech is very good, his energy level is so much better. His mouth was locking up—that has stopped.
