Thanks for your question.
Consult nearest psychiatrist asap.
Patient need to be evaluated in details such as mental status examination to be carried out by psychiatrist.
Somehow dose of levodopa carbidopa is high, although you didn't mention frequency of dose.
If he is taking bd than somewhat fine.
Rest of the things will be taken care by psychiatrist.
