Anyway, my HMO just called to schedule an appointment for a brain scan but I have to stop taking my Cogentin 5 days prior to the scan. My neurologist says it's ok to stop.

Anyone care to venture a thought or experience?

Jim,
Sounds like the cardinal symptoms of P.D.
Perhaps recommence some Sinemet and see if there's an improvement?
Start with one tab perhaps and see if the improvement is immediate and obvious.
Your freezing and falling episodes need to be addressed ASAP before something worse eg a fractured hip occurs.
