I can not help you find a doctor but I believe that I could comment on your other question regarding the dosage of the drugs that have been prescribed. Unfortunately, you have not included any details about dosages that have been prescribed. If you send that information, we can make some hopefully useful comments. In particular I would like to know details of the Sinemet: how much and when does your father takes his Sinemet? Regards Brian Collins -- Brian Collins <[log in to unmask]
