Medications can help manage tremors in Parkinson's disease, but their effectiveness can vary. Dopaminergic drugs, such as [[treatment:Levodopa/Carbidopa:55d534f51fcaa397470006dd]], are often used to influence dopamine levels and improve motor symptoms, including tremors. It's important to carefully time these medications around meals, bedtime, and waking to ensure maximum effectiveness and avoid "off" times when symptoms worsen. Always discuss any changes in medication with your doctor to avoid serious withdrawal symptoms or dangerous interactions.
