She never has brushed off our concerns..
She has tried anti anxiety meds a few times but they don't seem to work well for dad , so he is off those after a short trial each time.
He is also on a very small dose of Mirapex along w/ his carb/levadopa.
It may help the other med work better -but for some it has too many side effects..
Is your dad on any other meds for anything beside the dopamine?
If the doctor he is seeing for PD is not a specialist you may have trouble getting the most knowledgeable care for him...

Thank you again for your reply
Its incredibly hard here to get any appointments with the doctors. Both he visited were specialists as well. Any tests which are done or just visits could take anywhere from six months to a year. He's not any other medication. The only thing he'll take once in a while is Ibuprofen.
Does your father as have his mobility change throughout the day? Like with no particular relation between days or times?
