What Experience Have You Had With Nuplazid?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Concord, MA

My hubby tried Nuplazid but it made his hallucinations and confusion worse. We also tried Rivastigmine but that made BP and heart rate drop to dangerous levels. On Seroquel now.

Husband was on seroquel. That was stopped and he started on Nuplazid a couple weeks ago. Seems to be having a rough adjustment period.

Husband Had Hallucinations

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
San Diego, CA

Hello, husband was experienced hallucinations, due to side effect of Mir-apex 3.00MG pill. Hallucinations were against me, seeing me having conversations in the middle of the night with a man. He kept waking me up and steering at me with a very deep look, that frightened me so much. Has anyone experienced something similar? and what to do?

Continous Delusions But NOT Paranoid Or Jjeolousy

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I understand paranoid type delusions can be a part of parkinsons but her delusions are not like that. She just thinks things are happening that really are not, such as someone having a baby, or someone losing their job, or thinking people are coming over or we are going somewhere when we're really not. Does anyone else have loved… read more

What's The Consensus Here On Nuplazid? My Mother Has Psychotic Episodes Apparently Related To Her Parkinsonism. Would It Help Or Hurt?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Spokane Valley, WA

My mother was diagnosed with Parkinsonism in 2013. Since around April, she's suffered from increased cognitive problems (e.g., delusional episodes and vague hallucinations). Her neurological treatment team has prescribed Nuplazid but she's reluctant to take it because of its higher mortality risk and lack of a track record. Unfortunately, she has these psychotic episodes every few days and I do a poor job handling them. What should I do?
