L-dopa was a drug that seemed to arrest the development of parkinsons disease.
However unbeknown to pharmacologists (quacks compared to real medics) the side effects were the overabundance of dopamine in the brain. Which caused many of those treated to develop schizophrenia.
My degree is in psychology, and this explanation is very weak. But I think you should get the gist
