My experience with yawning has been different Beforestarting medication
I yawned countless times every day for about 5 years. Thought my body
must need more oxygen.Now I take sinimet and permax and the pattern has
changedMy day is made up of 3--4hr periods my medication taking 1hr. to
come on fully,the yawning coming in the first 1/2--3/4 of an hour and
indicating that the tabs.are beginning to work    .Mytightnessbeginstogo
I relax, aches dissapear, I stretch and yawn some more and am soon able
to move more freely and normally.Wonderful.
Tremor I used to have quite badly but now barely noticable -am just
aware of a little at the end of med. cycle.
The worst symptoms are tightness of mussels, extreme weakness and aching
with all that follows as a  result. I am unable to sleep at all without
med. so you can imagine how thankful

I am for it .  Pam Barnett  64/9yrs
