Brief Answer:
Vitamin supplements may be helpful.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and your symptoms are most probably related to side effects of anti-psychotics.

In addition to Mirapex (pramipexole), you may also benefit from trihexiphenidyl.

Vitamins such as vitamin B12 and D supplements would also help.

Coenzyme Q may stop further deterioration.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
