Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your husband symptoms could be related to tardive diskinezia, which is an adverse effect of levodopa therapy. For this reason, I recommend consulting with his neurologist for a physical exam and make the proper changes to his therapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
