Is There A Separate Medicine To Take For Hallucinations?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Edenton, NC

I was diagnosed over 1 year ago. 65 years old. Take Carbodopa Levadopa. And Rasputin.

__. They are fairly mild but becoming more frequent...such as seeing my dog stand straight up and a mouse climb my wall. It's scary.My memory is slipping too. I do feel scared.

The doctor may ask and if you know it helps him decide whether or not medication is warranted. Good luck and

Teresa thank you. I have never honestly noticed what time they come or is it just peroodically. I will take notice now.

What time of day do you have them? There are meds which treat hallucinations, but my doctor opted not to prescribe anything. Because I have them as the sun disappears. He called it sundowners. But when they appear they’re never frightening,

There are medications for Parkinson's hallucinations like Rivastigmine, Nuplazid, Seroquel, Cloazril. It is also possible to have hallucinations as a side effect of some PD drugs like amantadine and selegiline. Talk to your neurologist.
