Default L-dopa and summer heat = illusions

Hi
my father, 78 years old, he has parkinson almost 6 years. He takes small doses of L-dopa with mucuna and other supplements
He is now having strong illusions, he sees people in our home.
My pathologist told me to cut his L-dopa and mucuna, because the combination of summer heat (we live in Greece) and dopamine brings up strong illusions. Her mother who had also parkinson had the same problem.
My father is very sensitive to side effects of drugs.
I dont know what to do, i havent find a neurologist that i can trust, i have visited at past almost 8 of them and no one recommended supplements!!!

please help me i am frustrated

thank you
