What is the rationale for this?

When you say l-dopamine, do you mean l-dopa? The Parkinson's drug? Do you have a diagnosis of Parkinson's?
Artane (Trihexyphenidyl) is used in Parkinsons.

Artane is an anticholinergic and additive with Bentyl.

This drug is not commonly used:

This is a very good drug checker. I put in Artane/Bentyl and this
is what it explains:

I'd say that is one serious thing for you to consider.

I'd suggest you visit our Parkinson's forum. They have alot of experience with these drugs. I think you are being given some heavy duty things for a young person. But that is my opinion.
Without a definite diagnosis of Parkinson's I can't think why you are on l-dopa, and going to get Artane.

This is the Parkinson's forum:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum34.html
I really suggest you visit there and ask them, based on your symptoms.
