HI
waiting for you to come online to discuss this as I doubt I could give you an answer that would help you with the information provided.
so the first question would be about the nausea and the diagnosis of Parkinson's did this happen concurrently?
what meds do you take for you parkinson's, have you tried a MAOi medicine like selegiline? (eldypryl) or parnate?
certain meds like amantidine for parkinson''s have a high incidence of nausea as a side effect

here is a document on MAO inhibitors, that are also used to treat depression, I would focus more on using selegiline for treatment of parkinson's It could be that medications like Sinemet or Stalevo ( if you are using them) can contribute to nausea, and this might make a difference.

I am taking artanne for parkinsons.I had a reaction to sinemet
HI. You are on artane, or triphenyhexidyl. this is a strong anticholinergic drug, and can cause strong anticholinergic effects in 30-50% of patients. I have attached the webpage on this drug. It could be that the nausea is related to gastroparesis from the anticholinergic effects. Discuss this with your neurologist. there are other meds to try as suggested earlier. Dr Frank T
