Abilify is an antipsychotic neuroleptic drug that is not suppose to increase Parkinson's symptoms as some other neuroleptic drugs do. We have tried it and found it unsuitable in my wife's case. It caused worsening of the Parkinson symptoms before it reached a dose that would help with the psychosis caused by Mirapex. By itself Abilify will not help with Parkinson symptoms. I may lessen the psychosis caused by the disease and the other drugs though.
