A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone been diagnosed with Parkinsons because of taking certain medications and if so can the Parkinson symptoms be reversed?

No can't be reversed but can definitely slowed down with constant exercise

Here is an article from NIH about drug-induced PD. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC33...
It's a little scientific, but still fairly readable.

Thanks FranBL. for your response. You are right - it is a bit technical but it is readable. I am more accustomed to working with numbers . I can't help feeling that the taking of the medication is exacerbating the PD. I have been taking medication for approx 2 yrs and and find the cognitive functions have declined dramatically.
Best wishes
