My drs are trying to take me off of sinimet but it is causing serious withdrawals including schizophrenia and they aren't sure what to do. suggestions?

Side Effect: It may be a side effect of the drug itself as opposed to withdrawal. You may also have a predisposition for schizophrenia. Would suggest seeing a psychiatrist. They are skilled in managing schizophrenia.
