Lewy Body Dementia Treatments

Treatment

While there is no cure, there are treatments that can control the symptoms. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:

Medications

These medications may be used to help with the symptoms:

  • Donepezil and rivastigmine —to help with cognition; may worsen motor symptoms
  • Levodopa—to help control rigidity and loss of spontaneous movement
  • Antidepressants
  • Anticonvulsants

If you have Lewy body disease, you may be particularly sensitive to medications called neuroleptics. You may have adverse events with these medications.
