Hello dear,
There are many drug treatment available for parkinsons.
The best effective is levodopa.
Dopamine agonist like pramipexole, ropinirole can also be tried.
other drugs like rasagiline, amantadine are also used in patients.
The choice and dose of drugs depends upon stage of disease and tolerance of drugs.
Postural hypotension is common side effect in early stage of dopamine prescription.
you need to consult a neurologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
