hello
If artane is ineffective then levodop/clonazipam may be considered by a neurologist so you may have to consult one again.These drugs may be useful if your doctor agrees.
Genetical testing,MRI of brain may be done to find the causes.Often some neurosurgical procedures are advised by neurologists if localization of areas in brain are identified
Best wishes
