I found that CBD very helpful with sleep problems (gummies, solutions). It also greatly reduces the muscle stiffness symptom that PD brings with it. Marijuana (edibles, vape) also helps as it has CBD in it as well. I was shocked when my movment disorder specialist neurologist told me to give weed a try, so I did, and it's given me quite a lot of relief from a number of PD symptoms. I only use it a few times a week and only in the evening, but it has sure made my symptoms much more bearable and as an added bounus I sleep much better and longer.

My doctor has prescribed me Pregabalin, which not only helps with sleep but deters the pain in my legs, that being said, however, he just raised it to 300mg. Medical marijuana does help, but I am in college at 64, and sometimes my head is foggy in mourning. I am wheelchair-bound now, so my schooling is important to me (Healthcare Administration). If you have access to a swimming pool, this also helps. Best of luck.
