Oh Barbara it's really horrible ( that's me being polite ) my hallucinations developed into character changing episodes that got me in a lot of trouble I can't emphasize that enough you have to do something about it in case you suffer the same consequences as I did. I wish you all the very best ❤️ Phil

How frightening! Drs should consider what the effects of each added medication may do to each patient. I hope you were able to stop taking them quickly!!

We found that adding a psychotic made the hallucinations turn into violent episodes.

Definitely call the neurologist ASAP. There are meds that help with Parkinsons psychosis, but simply reducing the dosage may help as well.

If you're experiencing hallucinations from levodopa, there are several treatment options your doctor might consider:

If you're experiencing hallucinations from levodopa, there are several treatment options your doctor might consider:

• Adjusting your levodopa dosage or timing
• Switching to a different formulation of the medication
• Adding medications specifically to manage hallucinations

It's important to tell your doctor right away if you're experiencing hallucinations, as they can be a sign of worsening symptoms. Your doctor may prescribe antipsychotic medications that can help treat hallucinations while minimizing effects on motor control. Two options they might consider are:

• Quetiapine (Seroquel)
• Clozapine (Clozaril)

These medications require careful monitoring as they can have serious side effects. Your doctor will work with you to find the right balance between controlling hallucinations and maintaining motor function.
