Welcome to the forum, Patti. I am one that feels most people are worse off the more meds they are on. The only pharmaceutical I take is armor thyroid (pig source) for low thyroid...I cannot take the synthetic drug synthyroid for that...it makes me tremor more and has other side effects for me. I recommend Dr Laurie Mischleys book Natural Therapies for Parkinsons Disease. She lists things that mimic PD. (along with good foods and supplements for PD). You might find some interesting info there. God Bless!
