Hello @kinglue, and welcome to the PD support group on Mayo Connect. I'm sorry to hear that you experience headaches as you increase your dose of C/L. Before you increased the dosage, did you notice any improvements in your PD symptoms?
As this is your first post, please share, as you are comfortable doing so, a bit about your journey with PD. Is this a new diagnosis for you? What symptoms led to the diagnosis? Have you asked your doctor for a different PD medication?

@hopeful33250 I have had numerous issues/symptoms over the past few years but only recently did a doctor put it all together. I just started on the C/L and when I hit 2 pins 3 times a day did the headaches show up. I think it was starting to help. Doc just prescribed a new med. I have started that so we shall see.
It is hard mentally right now. Serious bouts of depression and anger. Just retired this year and now this. Life sucks right now.
