anxiety medication

I started with anxiety and depression for the past of twenty years before I have parkinson's.

I was with psychiatrist for the past of twenty years before I have movementdisorders specialist.

In the meantime I have two doctors who treat my disease,emotional and non emotional disorders

I have managed well to control my movement disorders but it takes time for my emotional disorders, insomina,anxiety,tiredness,constipation to be treated.

My medications:

Seroquel 12.5 mg, Lexapro 5mg and 1 Besquil 0.5mg before bed time

1 Besquil 0.5 mg daytime.

There are medication for my anxiety,dipolar and depression and effective for my illness.

Questions:

Are they addicited to me?

Any side effects with PD medications or interaction with medications for other illness?

Any alternative medication to help me?

Kindly comment'

Are they addicited to me?

-Likely no, but you need an examination to determine and also to look for dopamine dysregulation syndrome.

Any side effects with PD medications or interaction with medications for other illness?

-This needs an in person examination and review of medicines.

Any alternative medication to help me?

-Again, hard to say without an exam.

Hope you feel better.
