    There was one drug, Detrol, that caused hallucinations in a woman very soon after she began it. She got diagnosed with early dementia - and it was no such thing.

    I was taking an anti-seizure medication after my craniotomy last year. It caused me to become extremely short-tempered. There were times I could feel the rage building up in me. Thankfully I no longer have to take it.

    I'm sure your dad's doctors are checking all these things.
    He's not on any meds so that's not the cause. He also had a CT Scan of his head a short while ago and they found nothing abnormal.
