My grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease about 8 years ago, but now the doctors are saying he has progressive supranuclear palsy. He's been on Syndopa, but it seems to be making things worse for him. He used to take Ropark, and that was working well. Should we consider going back to Ropark instead?
