In Parkinson's disease, how do you taper off medications to reduce psychotic symptoms? This is a step 3 question.
To maintain the therapeutic effect, the least potent medications should be reduced or discontinued first:
Anticholinergics
Amantadine
MAO-Bi
COMT-i
Dopamine agonists
and lastly, the big gun --- carbidopa/levodopa!
