I have occasional hallucinations .I try to make fun of them. That sometimes works and it makes me laugh. I have had a few that were disturbing and had the potential to be physically harmful. Mine are so infrequent that I haven't looked for any medication.

I have auditory and visual hallucinations. So far 98% have been pleasant or even mildly amusing. They occur when I am very tired or have not taken my c/l on schedule.
My Neurologist has not suggested medication yet.

After years of medication hallucinations can happen in all of us. I am 10 years in Feb, into my diagnosis and haven’t had them yet either. I know there is a drug they give for this I am not sure what it is called. Someone on here should know?
