My husband has been taking topiramate and primidone for symptoms of Parkinsons.  Please tell us what each of these are supposed to do. He is 81 and still plays trumpet in a community band.  Since being off these meds following a visit to a new clinic, he feels that he is unable to plays as well - in other words he cannot control his mouth on the horn as well.  Would either of these be likely to help or hurt?  Thank you, Sara Thomas
