Brief Answer:
With hold the medicines for now.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and current medications.

Your symptoms are likely to be due to side effects of Bexol. As of now, withhold the medications- syndopa and Bexol and wait for sometime. If voice remains good, then, there is no need to start any medication.

You can continue your previous medications as before.

I hope it helps.

Best wishes,
