Hope this helps some, Norma Salute Norma, I suspect if your father uses only Sinemet and gradually stop taking Permax(it may take weeks to remove its effects) his hallucinations should desappear.I am NOT a doctor and think it may be a good idea to consult other specialists(considering your statement that your father still is a strong man in spite of his age).
