Buenos días y bienvenido @justiniano. I used Google Translate (https://translate.google.com/) to translate your message from Spanish to English.
"Good Morning. My name is Justiniano Murphy, I am 55 years old and I live in LIma Perú. In my case I was diagnosed in 2017 and treated excellently by Dr. Rodolfo Savica in Rochester, starting with 1, 2 and then three SInemet (carbidopa levodopa) 100/25 a day. The problem that I have now are the daily attacks of anxiety that do not respond normally to the anxiolytics. My quality of life has deteriorated steadily, so as a last resort I chose two days ago to raise my dose of Sinemet. 100/25 from 9 to 12 pills daily. I hope that helps me, because I have not been able to communicate with my Doctor or get an answer and I am desperate."

Have you tried to get in contact with your Mayo doctor through the patient portal? Here is the link to create an account if you haven't already https://gpsnetx.mayoclinic.org/psi/content/staticpatient/showpage/patientonline

I understand that you are desperate, but it is best to have the guidance of a doctor when changing medication doses. Do you also take anti-anxiety medication?

Buenos días y bienvenido @justiniano

It is good to have you as part of our Parkinson's discussion group. I agree with Colleen that it is good to check with your doctor before adjusting and/or changing any medications and their dosages.

Anxiety and depression are common for patients with Parkinson's as it is an organic brain problem which will affect your thinking. I would encourage you to start an exercise program. This will be good for both the Parkinson's symptoms as well as the anxiety. Do you have an exercise program in place?

I understand the language barrier so I trust you can get some help through Google in interpreting this article on Parkinson's and anxiety. Here is a link to the article, https://www.apdaparkinson.org/article/anxiety-parkinsons-disease/

As Colleen mentioned, have you talked with a doctor regarding some medication for anxiety?
