Prescribed Levipil And Syndopa For Minor Stroke And Parkinson S Disease. Will It Help With Sleeplessness And Restlessness?

My dad has parkinson and he had a minor stroke few days back. The doc has prescribed Levipil and Sindopa. Since he started on these 2 medications, he is restless at night and cannot sleep well. Is the medication causing this or is there something else that we should be worried of ?

Hi and thanks for the query,
These conditions are actually very unrelated and the treatment options are very different. A complete appraisal of the state of these are mandatory, especially with a neurologist. Based on clinical findings , a comprehensive treatment can then be prescribed. Vitamins, Gamalate B6 are generally useful in minor memory issues. Thanks and kind regards
