Possible, unusual: It is possible, but in many ways physiologically schizophrenia is the opposite of parkinson's disease (pd). Many of the traditional medicines used in schizophrenia lower dopamine, while those used in pd raise dopamine. Frequently in schizophrenia the medicines used can cause the patient to look parkinsonian from drug effects.
