Short-Term Paroxetine Treatment Does Not Alter the Motor Response to Levodopa in PD
Neurol 64:1797-1798, Chung,K.A.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The authors examined the motor effects of 2 weeks of paroxetine, a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), and placebo on responses to 2-hour levodopa infusions in 14 subjects with Parkinson disease. Paroxetine did not affect tapping scores of dyskinesia. Baseline walking speed (preinfusion) increased on paroxetine, often associated with an increased subjective perception of worsened balance.
