My husband has depression and PTSD. Not sure if that is what causes his apathy or the Parkinsons

I take 225 mg. of Effexor once a day. I started on a much lower dose. Is he getting sunlight?
He should try going for a walk. Is there any music that he likes? Try to keep it on for him. Good luck dear.

Oh yes sweetheart make sure he gets plenty of sunlight take him out as often as possible because that helps depression tremendously bless you

That's a tough one I'm also bipolar with severe depression so it Parkinson's it even makes it worse evidently he's pretty depressed I would make sure he takes his medication and hopefully he will improve God bless you and have a good day

I have bi-polar as well. Epival can contribute to tremors and I'm being weaned off of it. It is more useful to prevent mania and I'm more prone to depression. Marilyn, it can be very difficult to get the right meds for depression. If your hubby can exercise, sleep well, go for talk therapy, get fresh air they can help more than meds.
