This is one of those drugs that can cause Parkinson's like symptoms. So if you give it to a person with Parkinson you may see improvement in the paranoid delusions and hallucinations but worsening in the PD. It's all a balance. I can say from experience that this is one of the drugs that a person with PD + LBD should watch. It can cause something called neuroleptic malignancy syndrome. Not sure of all the spelling but let me tell you it is not good. There are other drugs that can cause weight gain like Mirapex incidentally Mirapex can cause hallucinations and the need for antipsychotic. Still a balancing act. Just watch each drug with care and talk to the doctor constantly. Note the changes, what they are and when they occurred, write them down then read it to the doctor or their aid.
