Hi,
If you are withdrawing carbidopa-levodopa and if your husband is having Parkinson's disease then the symptoms of Parkinson's disease will increase.
I would suggest you to consult your physician before stopping. If the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is relevant, then alternative medications like selegiline, has to be initiated to control the symptoms.
I hope the above information helps you. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic. Have a wonderful day.
