the drugs combination is not one i have heard before. perhaps a small amount
of Sinemet rather than the four things he is taking would sufffice. the
eldepryl can be hyperactivity-inducing and the mirapex may be adding some
'randomness' to thoughts and feelings.

would you post the drugs amounts and strengths as well as schedule.  has he
consulted with the doctor regarding this?  is the doctor a PD specialist?

unfortunately, there may be need of psychological acceptance and adjustment
to having PD symptoms rather than 'taking something' for panic attack.
Is daily accurate? when during the day? what are his primary PD symptoms?

discussing these things with his doctor is my recommendation to you both
together. was the Mirapex started for a particular reason?
