My mom was on Tylenol with codeine because she had a urinary tract infection with fever. Also, I have felt for a while that her Simenet dosage has been too high, even tho she has a Neuro that specializes in Parkinson's. So....she is off the Tylenol 3 and her Simenet has been reduced. And she is taking anti-seizure medication. She is much calmer, but still has some rough moments, especially in the afternoon. I am going to get her exact meds info. One thing I've learned from this list is that medication is a very personal affair for each Parky, however, since her speech is severely limited, I am going to have to do some serious sleuthing to find her optimal balance.
