I'm thinking you will get mail concerning your feeling better when stopping medication. I would get a second opinion as I thought one would get worse if his disease was parkinson if he stopped meds. There are so many diseases that present similar to PD. is my understanding. However, we do have one man in our support group who cannot tolerate sinemet, he shakes a lot and says he functions better off the drug. When he tried it he stayed awake for hours on end.
