Patterns and Trends in Antipsychotic Prescribing for Parkinson Disease Psychosis
Arch Neurol 68:899-904, Weintraub, D.,et al, 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Half of the patients with PD and psychosis receive APs, not uncommonly high-potency agents associated with worsening parkinsonism, and frequency of use has been unchanged since the ?black box? warning for AP use in patients with dementia was issued. Recent trends are a shift to quetiapine use and the common use of aripiprazole. As psychosis and dementia are frequently comorbid in PD, safety risks associated with AP use in this population need to be assessed.
