Specializes in Psychiatry

Need expert: In general, so-called "atypical" medications such as Abilify (aripiprazole) are likely to be safer to use for people with pd than standard versions of these meds. But it is a delicate balancing act because they all counteract, in some degree, and pd meds. This is a situation where an expert in the use of both meds will be helpful: a psychopharma/psychiatrist with a close working relationship to a neurologist.
