Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Syn dopa plus is a good medication for treating Parkinson's disease (PD). However, several side effects are also noted. Hallucinations, postural giddiness, nausea and decreased appetite are common. There are several options at this stage- 1. The dose of syn dopa plus may be reduced, 2. The timing of taking syn dopa plus may be changed, 3. Syn dopa plus may be stopped and replaced with other Chat Doctor.  I would suggest you discuss these issues with your neurologist for the proper guidance. Best wishes,
