Drugs Can Cause Side-Effects That Resemble Parkinson's
Tranquilizers and sleeping pills that many elderly patients are
prescribed can cause symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Often the doctor will prescribe anti-Parkinson's drugs to treat the
symptoms of the drugs. The anti-Parkinson's disease cause many bad
side-effects also and often do not work on the symptoms.
Some of the drugs that can cause these side-effects include:
antidepressants, antipsychotics, carbamazepine, methyldopa,
metoclopramide, reserpine, and trimethobenzamide.
True Parkinson's begins gradually.
If you have symptoms that start suddenly, and have just started
taking the drugs, you should probably stop them and see if the symptoms
go away. |
