Talk to your doctor. All of the symptoms can be caused by either Parkinson's or the meds. It's a balancing act to figure out how much helps and how much hurts more than it benefits.
Thank you @GnnyOwen
Diane, when I read your list at the beginning I thought it sounds like PD, then I thought there’s no way to know without a doctor. Suddenly I realized it seemed you were talking about me. Problem is I have MSA. Definitely talk to your doctor before trying. To guess.

hello, I'd say talk to your neurologist and also which is worse the side effects or the Issue your having with the PD ..which one is worse ..its definitely very hard to cope with. In the beginning of my diagnosis with Pd (Sept of 21) my neurologist sent me home with no meds...my tremors were very bad. all because of the side effects and my age 57. I waited a week and called him said I needed something..I do have dry mouth and bladder issues and had double vision a few times but the medication does help me alot..its all in the person and you know what one weighs out the other one..good luck prayers 🙏 ❤️
Parkinson is a tough illnes….my sweating before I take pills and after….at 2am I am drenched…I stopped taking 4th pills since they wouldn’t let me sleep at all…magnesium glysinate helps me for segmented sleep….
Everything Diane mentioned is so very true!! Thx for that!!
