Parkinson's disease is currently not curable. The dopa medicines help alleviate the symptoms of slowness of movement but do not change the course of the disease itself. it sounds like the drowsiness may be from medication if she is taking it in the morning. the most common culprit is the blood pressure medication. Parkinson's disease causes low blood pressure when standing so patients usually do not need medication. talk to your doctor about your concern over the morning drowsiness
