Thanks for responding. He is on carpidopa levadopa three times a day and it has helped his symptoms so far. We were told the medication will usually help and then will eventually stop working. Could be 6 weeks, could be 3 years. We are looking forward to coming to mayo next month to get a better idea of his diagnosis.

My husband has been taking carpidopa levadopa since his diagnosis (8 yrs ago). He has taken it three times a day until his cancer symptoms acted up this past year and now he takes an extended dose at night. So at present he takes three tabs three times a day and extended at night so something 4 times a day but it does seem to help. He also takes gabapentin twice daily. I honestly can’t remember when they added it.
