Abstract

AbstractLevodopa and dopamine agonists are useful as Parkinson's disease medications. However, they often induce persistent psychotic symptoms and motor complications, which make Parkinson's disease treatment difficult. This is a case report of a patient with advanced Parkinson's disease accompanied by exacerbation of motor symptoms and psychotic symptoms derived from prolonged use of conventional anti‐Parkinson's disease drugs, and in whom adjunctive therapy with a new anti‐Parkinson's disease drug, zonisamide, was shown to improve motor symptoms with no exacerbation of psychotic symptoms.
