Anti-Parkinsonian drugs such as L-dopa, the anticholinergic drugs, amantadine,
and the dopamine agonists may cause delusions, confusion, paranoia, or
hallucinations on their own, but when the drug is stopped, the symptoms clear
(it may take several days). The appearance of drug-induced mental changes in
a patient who is not senile does not mean that the patient will become
senile.
