Hi...... Medications may help you manage problems with walking, movement and tremor. These medications increase or substitute for dopamine, a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain.... People with Parkinson's disease have low brain dopamine concentrations..... You may have significant improvement of your symptoms after beginning Parkinson's disease treatment.....
