Hello
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I should tell you that your doctor is probably correct.
You see the abdominal symptoms and headache are also a part of Parkinsonism.
The features are broadly known as Non Motor Features of Parkinsonism.
The stopping of medicines is not going to help you.
In Parkinsonism, the dose of the medicine needs to be individualized.
There is no standard dose that fits everyone.
Therefore, I think you need to restart that medicine, and meet your neurologist again for dose modification.
Best of luck, Dr Mittal
