Dear Marguerite, Vitamin E should not be a problem with Parkinson's meds--but should be discontinued in large doses before any surgery because it can promote bleeding. Dr. Joe Jankovik in Houston prescribed 2000 IU when they were doing the DATATOP study. When it didn't prove out to be helpful, he said for me to still take it.
