My question is, does sinemet help alleviate hallucinations, delusions, sleep issues and confusion? My research suggests it doesn't, and we think these were worse when he was on double this dose, hence thinking about stopping to see how he is "clean".

I'm grateful for any insights whilst I get up to speed.
