Sherry, welcome to the PD list. We hope that you will find comfort and support here. Your father might be experiencing Parkinson's Disease psychosis - a rather common problem in certain PWP (people with Parkinsons). There are medication that can control your father's behavior and his physicians should be ordering them. Also, some Parkinsons meds cause hallucinations and psychosis - especially Mirapex. Please access the PIEN web site and check out the medications your father *should not* be prescribed as they increase PD - the most famous of which is Haldol. Many of the caregivers on the CARE list have talked about the effectiveness of Seroquel, Zyprexa and Clozaril - all of which can be given in small doses to decrease PD psychosis. The Parkinsons Information exchange network (PIEN) address is: www.parkinsons-information-exchange-network-online.com Good luck and God bless you.
