I am very recently diagnosed with PD. I am going to be prescribed levadopa but haven’t received the prescription yet. My dilemma is whether to start taking it and hopefully have reduced symptoms over Christmas, but risk side effects., or wait and weather the se later. Any experience or suggestions anyone? Thank you it’s all a bit daunting at the moment.
