Parkinson's Disease: These are both medications used to treat parkinson's disease, not psychosis. Some antipsychotic medications can induce parkinsonism in movements -- not true parkinson's disease. Sometimes these meds used to treat parkinson's may cause psychotic symptoms. Late-stage parkinson's disease can also involve a type of dementia with hallucinations as well.
