Depression and anxiety continue to plague me and are my greatest obstacles to having a high quality of life.
Almost two years after this post, I can say much the same thing. Tremor is more dramatic in both hands, and my meds (carb/levo 25/100 and amantadine) wear off more quickly, but it remains the main symptom. I worry about dyskinesia, so keep the meds low. Depression/anxiety still troublesome.
