Hello @gmoore36 and welcome to the Parkinson's support group on Mayo Connect

Based on your rather brief post, I'm assuming that you are taking a reduced amount of a medication for PD, is that correct? If you could provide a little bit more information, perhaps one of our members in the PD group could answer your question.

I look forward to hearing from you again.

Thank you. I was

diagnosed with PD in July of 2023. Soo0n after, I was prescribed Carbidopa/levodopa 25mg/100mg. 1.5 tabs 3x a day. That has been going well. I've been treated for depression for over 15yrs. Recently I was prescribed the antipsychotic Vraylar.
My neurologist has concerns about this new drug due to its dopamine blocking
properties. She says that only seroquel or clozaril may be safe.
Thank you!
