Approximately 3 months ago, I experienced severe hallucinations hypothesized to be associated with an urinary tract infection, I had a second less pronounced episode of hallucinations about 6 weeks ago, also associated with a UTI. My neurologist prescribed Nuplazid, the only medication approved for the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's related hallucinations.

I have had no significant hallucinations since then. However, it is difficult to determine if the decrease is a direct effect of… read more

Hello, husband was experienced hallucinations, due to side effect of Mir-apex 3.00MG pill. Hallucinations were against me, seeing me having conversations in the middle of the night with a man. He kept waking me up and steering at me with a very deep look, that frightened me so much. Has anyone experienced something similar? and what to do?

Husband was on seroquel. That was stopped and he started on Nuplazid a couple weeks ago. Seems to be having a rough adjustment period.

My husbands hallucinations are increasing and Neurologist recommends Nuplazid. Would appreciate any input.

My mother was diagnosed with Parkinsonism in 2013. Since around April, she's suffered from increased cognitive problems (e.g., delusional episodes and vague hallucinations). Her neurological treatment team has prescribed Nuplazid but she's reluctant to take it because of its higher mortality risk and lack of a track record. Unfortunately, she has these psychotic episodes every few days and I do a poor job handling them. What should I do?

Thoughts on clozapine for constant hallucinations. Nuplazid for 10 weeks and Exelon patch for 8 weeks with no change. This is doctor's next step. Thanks.
