Working closely with your neurologist is essential to find the right medication and dosage for your specific situation.

• Some people may need adjustments to medication types or dosages
• It can take time (up to 18 months in some cases) to find the right medication balance
• Certain medications may work better at different stages of Parkinson's
• Never stop taking medications abruptly without consulting your doctor If you're experiencing issues with your current medication, keep track of:
• When symptoms occur
• Which medications you're taking and their timing
• Any side effects you experience
• Changes in your daily activities or routine
