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!

I hope that the Vraylar doesn't affect the dopamine enough to cause you problems, @lena14. Have you started taking this medication yet?
