We had to dropped/reduced less critical meds for my dad and only kept his Carb/lev as he aged. was 84.

Last time we saw her PD doctor she recommended decreasing her ropinirole, as this drug may affect her behavior. We are now down to 3mg twice a day and I am seeing some improvement. Although this is only the 3rd week, so curious what will happen as she adjusts more. Just taking each day one at a time. Thanks for your post.
