We are in a two-month trial period for this drug, because we were told it takes two months to see if it will help. We were told that it reduces serotonin, so that the ratio between dopamine (which has been reduced because of PD) and serotonin is closer to what it would be normally. It supposedly does not make PD symptoms worse, but I noticed one of the side effects is hallucinations-the very thing it is supposed to help with. How can one ever tell what is what when a side effect is also a symptom the drug is supposed to alleviate? Ugh.

And, as already mentioned, the drug is horrifically expensive, a whole other issue entirely.
