Kathleen is right about seeing a movement disorders specialist. If you haven't before, be sure to diary the meds you take(time of day, amount, effects from med) so the mds can see how you feel throughout the day and what effects/if any from each med taken. There are many more meds available that might help you, so don't give up!!!

He said this to you?! I wouldn't take his word on that. He's right about one thing. You need to see a movement disorders specialist. Long car trips are indeed a drag, but get a friend to drive you, pack some good tapes or CDs, sing along, snarf some snacks, and, come hell or high water, get to that specialist!
