What Causes Hallucinations In A Hypertensive Person?

My mom has Parkinson s and is currently taking sinimet. Can too much sinimet cause hallucinations. Her dosage has been gradually increased over the last six years. She is now taking 2 25 mg/100mg tablets four times a day. She is also taking high blood pressure medicine. In the past she has taken Ropininole, Azilect and Comtan but they really gave her hallucinations bad. Is there another medicine that can control the symptoms and not cause the hallucinations or is it just part of the progression of the disease

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Yes. the parkinson's treatment may be the source. This is a question for the neurologist who is coordinating her care. There are a host of choices for parkinson's treatment. Often using more than one at low doses gets around side effects.
