That’s great news so hopefully it will subside quickly! I only knew of 2 people and they still have PD symptoms.

Certain medications used to treat Parkinson’s disease (PD) and its complications can cause insomnia. These include:

- Dopamine agonists (e.g., ropinirole, rotigotine, [[treatment:levodopa/carbidopa:55d534f51fcaa397470006dd]])
- Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluvoxamine (Luvox), sertraline (Zoloft), and fluoxetine (Prozac)

Zoloft (sertraline) is an SSRI and can be associated with insomnia in people with PD. If you have concerns about your medication, it's best to discuss them with your doctor.

There is a thing called med induced PD but to be honest with you I know very little about it. But it is real… Some people say that once off the meds that induced it they still suffer. Like the meds triggered it. But I would research it. Mayo clinic has a very good site

I would be very surprised if Zoloft is on the list because Zoloft is an approved drug for Parkinson, depression and anxiety. That doesn’t mean a mistake couldn’t have been made, their only practicing after all… 🤣🤣🤗
