Hi,
Yes, probably these symptoms arose after stopping suddenly the drugs used for a long time.
I think that there is a need to continue those drugs.
Also, short-term treatment for the symptoms with tranquillizers may be necessary.
Discuss with your father's Neurologist for these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
