Brief Summary: The proposed experiment will evaluate the effects of the NMDA receptor full agonist D-serine 2gday on persistent symptoms of Parkinsons Disease and on antiparkinsonian drugs-induced dyskinesias

D-serine will be used as add-on therapy to on-going medications received by Parkinsons Disease patients The rational for this study stems from observations made in pervious clinical trials with schizophrenia patients in which it was demonstrated that D-serine adjuvant treatment resulted in1improvement of parkinsonian side effects induced by antipsychotic drugs and 2 improvement of depression and negative ie apathy blunted effects anhedonia symptoms which are similar to symptoms encountered in Parkinsons Disease

The study will have a crossover design in accordance to which each patient will receive in random order D-serine and placebo for a 6 weeks period each Thus any participant will have the opportunity to receive the experimental treatment
