  1. Thanks, David, for posting this resource. Mom has taken a couple of these meds since her diagnosis of LBD with Parkinsons. She is no longer taking them, though, which is good. Mom also used to subscribe to this publication…

    Best wishes,

  2. Thank you for this link! My mom takes some of this medication and I am sure she is not aware of these effects. I will be sharing this with her this week.
