Sorry. The correct spelling of the drug is PROPOFOL .

I did some searching on propofol, Parkinson's, and dyskinesia. It seems propofol is well known to cause dyskinesia when it is being used during surgery. I was not able to find any reports of postoperative dyskinesia, however.

Have you tried reducing your levodopa medications based on the idea that you may be having more levodopa than you need right now?
