If by "this medication" you are referring to drugs for Parkinson, then
yes. My mother had Parkinson's Disease (a bit of a catch all
diagnosis, though not as bad as CP) and among other things took
Sinemet and Carbidopa to help treat the Parkinson's. My daughter who
has a diagnosis of CP also takes these drugs. They haven't made any
major changes in her life that we know of, but the lady who 1st
introduced us to such treatment as a possibility told us it had made
significant improvements for her son.
