Came off levadopa

Well I came off the levadopa to see if it improved my headdrop and it was really difficult without it. My head position didn’t improve…so I have started back on it.

I’m really disappointed. The only other drug I take is mirtazapine which I started originally at the same time as the levadopa. The headdrop started a few days later.

Are there any other remedies to improve head position that anyone has come across? Physio?

Thank you!
