Hello @rodbin, welcome to the forum. We hope you find the community a helpful place to ask questions, share reflections, and read posts from people who really get it.
Thank you for sharing your wife’s diagnosis with us. We’re glad that she’s found the NHS and her medication helpful. We have information about anxiety, including how you can help manage it, that you might find useful to read through together: Anxiety | Parkinson's UK
If your wife’s anxiety is affecting her daily life, it’s important to seek help from professionals, such as your GP or a counsellor. You may also be able to speak to her specialist or Parkinson’s nurse if you feel her medication or ‘wearing off’ could account for the anxiety.
We are also here for you both. If you’d like to discuss the anxiety further, our specialist advisers are there to offer support and advice and you can ask to speak to one of our Parkinson’s nurses if needed: 0808 800 0303. Our free and confidential helpline is avaliable Monday - Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturdays 10am - 1pm.
We hope the community can also share what they have found helpful too.
Take care
