Research Notes on Parkinson's Disease and SSRIs

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a newer class of antidepressants that may have particular efficacy in Parkinson's disease (PD) given the known serotonergic alterations in this disease. These agents are also thought to have a favorable side-effect profile, particularly in the elderly. Several recent case reports, however, have raised concern that SSRIs may worsen parkinsonian motor function.
