Adjusting medications for tremors, especially when the wear-off times vary daily, can be challenging. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Track Symptoms: Keep a detailed log of your symptoms, noting the times when your medication seems to wear off and when tremors are most pronounced. This can help you and your doctor identify patterns.

2. Consult Your Doctor: Discuss your symptom log with your doctor. They may adjust the timing or dosage of your medications to better manage your symptoms.

3. Medication Timing: Ensure that you are taking your medications at the same times each day, as consistency can help manage symptoms more effectively.

4. Consider Alternatives: If [[treatment:Levodopa/Carbidopa:55d534f51fcaa397470006dd]] is losing effectiveness, your doctor might recommend switching to or adding medications like Stalevo, which includes Entacapone to increase the amount of Levodopa reaching the brain.

5. Lifestyle Adjustments: Incorporate targeted exercises to help manage tremor activity. For example, exercises involving a plush ball can be beneficial.

Always consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
