Next Steps

Follow-up

To manage your Parkinson's disease effectively, your doctor must carefully balance the symptoms of the disease with the side effects of medications.

  • No single approach to treatment of PD exists. Rather, every person must work in tandem with doctors and therapists throughout the course of disease to design a program for their specific and changing needs.

  • Always consult your doctor before changing or stopping a medication.

  • At any point during the course of Parkinson's disease, an open discussion regarding new or changing symptoms or side effects must exist between you and your doctor.
