I have this for around 3 years. I was just at the neurologist yesterday, she asked me if I feel the medicine working or when it works. Carbidopa Levodopa25-100, I feel nothing then she asks me if the medicine works, how do I know

@vince195
I'm sorry to hear that you don't notice any difference with your PD medication. Did you tell your doctor about this? Perhaps a change in medication might be helpful.
Besides the medication, what else are you doing to treat PD? For example, exercise is a valuable tool for managing many symptoms of PD. Here is a link to the Michael J. Fox website regarding the value of exercise for PD patients: https://www.michaeljfox.org/news/exercise?
Are you part of a physical therapy or other exercise program?
@vince195 Am in similar position. It helps a bit to reduce brain fog but still have tremors. No anxiety or depression thankfully. Sounds like you need to talk to your doctor.

@vince195 If your symptoms go away, then you know. Your symptoms change as the disease progresses, but usually involves a tremor and stiffness. It usually takes 30-60 minutes.
