Parkinson's Disease
Frequently Asked Questions
18. What about medications for other
symptoms of Parkinson's?
Doctors may prescribe a variety of medications to treat the
non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as depression and
anxiety. Hallucinations, delusions, and other psychotic symptoms
are often caused by the drugs prescribed for Parkinson's.
Therefore, reducing or stopping Parkinson's medications may make
these symptoms of psychosis go away. A variety of treatment
options, including medications, also are available to treat
orthostatic hypotension, the sudden drop in blood pressure that
occurs upon standing.
