Do they use antipsychotics for levodopa induced psychosis in parkinson's disease? My grandmother has PD and takes levodopa and she recently had a psychotic episode. Can you take antipsychotics while taking antiparkinson drugs? Wouldn't the antipsychotic antagonize the effects of the anti-parkinson's drugs? Abilify seems like the best med to use for parkinson's disease becaues it has dopamine agonist activity and antagonist activity at the same time.
