Thank you for asking
Parkinson disease (PD) is one of the most common neurologic disorders, affecting approximately 1% of individuals older than 60 years and causing progressive disability that can be slowed, but not halted, by treatment. Lewy bodies add the severity and make the dementia also kick in.
Here is a complete management plan.
The goal of medical management of Parkinson disease is to provide control of signs and symptoms for as long as possible while minimizing adverse effects.
Symptomatic drug therapy
Usually provides good control of motor signs of Parkinson disease for 4-6 years
Levodopa/carbidopa: The gold standard of symptomatic treatment
Monoamine oxidase (MAO)–B inhibitors: Can be considered for initial treatment of early disease
Other dopamine agonists (eg, ropinirole, pramipexole): Monotherapy in early disease and adjunctive therapy in moderate to advanced disease
Anticholinergic agents (eg, trihexyphenidyl, benztropine): Second-line drugs for tremor only
Treatment for nonmotor symptoms
Sildenafil citrate (Viagra): For erectile dysfunction
Polyethylene glycol: For constipation
Modafinil: For excessive daytime somnolence
Methylphenidate: For fatigue (potential for abuse and addiction)
Deep brain stimulation
Surgical procedure of choice for Parkinson disease
Does not involve destruction of brain tissue
Reversible
Can be adjusted as the disease progresses or adverse events occur
Bilateral procedures can be performed without a significant increase in adverse events

Thank you for getting back
There is no doubt the medicines has its own adverse effects and parkinsons worsen and progresses with the passage of time. Compliance to the medications is an issue with the passage of time and dose readjustment is necessary with the passage of time. I mentioned many alternative options which needs to be addressed and consulted with the neurologist.
Morning in good shaped gradually worsening with the passage of time is very common of parkinsons and that needs a complete management plan.
Take care. Dont forget to close the discussion please.
