I totally disagree with heroin being the answer beause thats simply diacetyl morphine- a synthetic opiate that has NOTHING to do with Parkinson!
Id go with Haldol, Thorizine, prochlorperazine,metoclopramide or a dopamine depleter like reserpine. I read about MPTP causing drug induced Parkinsonism once but thats a separate issue.
