Quetiapine for Agitation or Psychosis in Patients with Dementia and Parkinsonism
Neurol 68:1356-1363, Kurlan,R.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Quetiapine was well-tolerated and did not worsen parkinsonism. Although conclusions about efficacy may be limited, the drug in the dosages used did not show demonstrable benefit for treating agitation or psychosis in patients with dementia and parkinsonism. These findings are in keeping with prior studies reporting limited efficacy of various medications for reducing behavioral problems in demented patients.
