Mild parkinsons does not cause sich symptoms. Either her diagnosis needs to be revised or she is on excessive dose of levodopa. Please feel free to contact for further queries.

Excessive shopping can be a side effect of pramipexole. Her medications will need to be modified. In view of memory loss she will need more evaluation.
