She was on low dose naltrexone, LDN, for about 6 years (started 11 years ago) and it did not seem to help. Her PD has advanced to where she has serious hallucinations and delusions. She just started Nuplazid for PD psychosis. She is not a candidate for DBS because of psychosis.
You probably know that Nuplazid is a new drug and horribly expensive. We have been offered this drug but have held off due to cost and the really mixed reviews we've read. If something costs over 2K a month, it better work wonders for more than a few PWP!

Please let us know how this drug works for your wife. Have you tried other anti-psychotics such as Seroquel, etc., and if so , how did they work?
