Tina,

You are correct that panic attacks do not last 2 weeks.  If you are looking
for a Parkinson's specialist I would suggest contacting the neurology
department at the university of Cincinnati and ask  whether they have a
movement disorders clinic and go from there.  You are not taking Sinemet and
it may be time to start it.
