@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member - they will keep changing your meds as time goes by because your response to the medications changes. As your brain produces less and less dopamine, more and sometimes different medications are needed. This continues until the meds are doing more harm than good (i.e. hallucinations or serious dyskinesia) and then they back off.
