A member asked:
Can parkinson's occur from medication?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not the Disease: A variety of medications can cause side effects that are similar to the movement difficulties seen in parkinson's, but the problems go away when the meds are stopped. These side effects are not true Parkinson's disease.

NO: Not true parkinson disease. Some medications may cause symptoms mimicking some of the symptoms of parkinsonism.
