Cap Sage replied to the topic Levodopa Reduction? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Medications 3 months ago

Dear Natalia,
I too have had increased insomnia with PD, and have tried many remedies to find what works best for me. I have, and will continue to avoid drugs and seek the most natural solutions.
