I am having trouble connecting with my doctor. He is not really proactive with reaching out to try new meds. He just has me stop the drug and then nothing until my next appointment. My worse symptom is my gait and cognitive problems.

I'm sorry to hear that your doctor is not being more proactive on your behalf, @parkiegirl. Can you seek a second opinion with a movement disorder specialist? This is a neurologist with special training in disorders like Parkinson's. Here is some information, https://www.michaeljfox.org/news/movement-disorder-specialists.

On the link there is a directory of movement disorder specialists. Will you take a look at it?
