Fornell is right, the hallucinations can be a side effect of the meds he is taking for other symptoms. Let his Dr. know they have become a problem. Perhaps an adjustment can be made or he can be prescribed something to control them (Nuplazid). I was told not to argue with or try to convince him that they are not real, just calmly convince him that he is safe and will not come to harm. Later, when he is lucid, we talk about what he saw. Some of the 'regulars' even have names now. His figures do not seem to be threatening, but his nightmares are sometimes violent and he kicks and thrashes out. Those take longer to calm down from.

that is difficult---i have had hallucinations for years---as a matter of fact they were my first sign of PD----but i am fortunate as i know what they all are so they never upset me---here is the one thing that is beginning to bother me---i am still having hallucinations that i know but they are no longer pleasant and can be frightening even when i know what they are---i very often just tell them, loudly, to go away and this works for just a short time---i am teaching myself to just ignore them,--i know there are meds for this but do not like the side effects i was told would happen---they seem to happen most when i am on the computer----strange people standing by me!!!!~!!ick!!!!!

My husband had a terrifying PD Psychosis in Feb. He is 62 and an athlete - we have been married 42 years happily.
We both went through hell - it was terrifying and violent and with zero support I was absolutely alone. He was taking Sinamet and Neupro patch - he was taken off the Neupro and put on a baby dose of sinemet. No hallucinations or delusions but his PD symptoms are 100x worse than before and the Seroquel knocks him down so far he can barely stay awake.
It is sometimes impossible to
ignore the delusions and hallucinations - I know I tried everything - but if they aren’t all out violent I would just not argue and pretend for the sake of peace.

I act out my dreams ( hallucinations) in my sleep. I scream, cry, run, have conversation, and hit my husband. Its very scary. I'm not taking med.for my problem, can't deal w/side effects. I'm well into stage II. of PD. Any encouragement would be appreciated.

Hey Bonnie, My mom suffers from terrible scary hallucinations to the point she wants to move out of her house. She’s tried 2 medications and they do not work. Your story gives me hope she can try to train her brain to realize these are not real.
