title: Antiparkinsonian drug abuse: eight case reports.
abstract: Although abuse of antiparkinsonian drugs has rarely been reported in this country, there is evidence that it is more widespread than has generally been believed. The author reports eight cases in which abuse of the drugs was suspected. He emphasizes the need for increased awareness among physicians of the potential for abuse of antiparkinsonian agents and greater caution in prescribing them.
