I'd be doing the samething if I took that combination of medications. I also have Asthma & PD. Theodur has a caffine base--I can't drink or take ANYTHING with caffine in it & PROVENTIL makes me have seizures. In fact, I was undiagnosed for several years,as no one saw my seizures except DH & myself. I had an Asthma attack in the Doctor's office and he me do PROVENTIL as an inhalant. Boy, did I scare him . It didn't do too much for me either, but it certainly proved my seizures!!!! Within a week my Neurologists came to a clinical diagnosis, which is how most PD is diagnosed anyway. You need to RUN back to those Neurologists and have a very serious discussion about drug interactions!! Please keep in touch. Good Luck!!!! As Ever, Marjorie L. Moorefield >I am a new subscriber.
