Hallucinations

Anonymous
Yes I experienced this a few times.

1. aged 14 when my parents had given me too many doses of cough medicine (the kind that folks make into illegal drugs)

2. when after a decade my partner left (no drugs involved)

Did the people experiencing hallucinations do drugs such as cannabis or was it from Rx or OTC medicines?

Metal filling definitely react to radiation exposure.

Indeed they do. They are radioopaque.

My brother is schizophrenic. He has felt and seen bugs crawling all over him. There were none. It was hard to witness. He was in terror of the bugs.

It's two different meds for me, one is sulpha (in the RX antibiotic usually used to treat UTIs), and the other is a common ingredient in an OTC medicine. Both cause me to hallucinate

Once in my 20's when I had an insanely high fever and ended up in the ER, once in a sleep deprived state with a newborn and a non-sleeping toddler...I swear I saw a man hiding behind my daughter's curtains, freaked me the f out and once after trying a cbd gummy... I fell asleep but woke up to screaming, no one was actually screaming.

A family member of mine had Lewy bodies dementia. The hallucinations were both frightening and sad to watch.

I had olfactory hallucinations at the point my late stage Lyme and bartonella was diagnosed. They’re gone now after meds.

I had an older family member with Parkinson's experience the same.

People are never exposed to complete silence (there's a place in Minneapolis in some lab where it's as free of sound as possible, and apparently a very eerie experience) and brains seek patterns (faces in woodgrain for example). I've had the experience, usually when I need sleep, where faint environmental sounds seem to be people chattering at a party.

Only while on mushrooms recently. It was fun as always.

It happens almost anytime I get a fever. At least I know it's not real and why it's happening so it's no big deal, but still not fun.

I had hallucinations (plus lots of other lovely issues, including insomnia and depression) while on an anti-malarial medication.

Sometimes it sounds like music, sometimes it sounds like a laugh-track from an 80’s sitcom, and sometimes it sounds like a male voice reading the nightly news. I know they are hallucinations because I sometimes hear them when I’m wearing earplugs.

Only once, in college, was it so loud and lasted so long that I went to the hospital.The hospital sent me home with a sleeping aid.

This has been going on since I was very young. When I was school age, I would think there were people visiting and get out of bed only to find no visitors and my family in bed.



Result of anxiety meds or unmedicated anxiety?


Both. I was not medicated until just after graduation from college when I was finally diagnosed with OCD, but had been having auditory hallucinations since childhood. I’ve been medicated for over thirty years and still occasionally have auditory hallucinations.
