so I happened upon this med's warning

Parkinson's disease and dementia with

Lewy bodies

Physicians should weigh the risks versus the benefits when prescribing

antipsychotic medicinal products, including Sycrest, to patients with

Parkinson's disease or dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) since both groups

may be at increased risk of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome as well as

having an increased sensitivity to antipsychotics. Manifestation of this

increased sensitivity can include confusion, obtundation, postural

instability with frequent falls, in addition to extrapyramidal symptoms.

there are similar warnings on other meds - we're headed in the right

direction... :)
