Looking Back - What Were Your Early Warning Signs of Parkinson's?

I was diagnosed on May 8. Started with 1 Carbidopa and Levodopa tablet for 3 days. I’m now up to 3 tablets 3 x a day with no real side effects. Just wondering if I need to call my doc and up the dose? No major improvement with mobility yet.

My husband has PD and we were told by the neurologist that C.Levadopa will help the tremors but not balance/mobility issues. For that he has to go to PT and work on daily mobility exercises.

@janet42,
It is always to keep in touch with your doctor when you are beginning a new medication. If my understanding is correct, you are now taking 9 tablets a day. Is this correct?
You say that there has been no improvement with mobility. Could you describe what type of mobility problems you are still experiencing?
If this were my situation, I would call my doctor's office and explain the continuing mobility issues. Will you post again with any updates?
