gabapentin and hallucinations

Literally like an hour after I took it I couldnt walk and was jerking violently and uncontrolably. Hallucinations and all the others were exacerbatd ten-fold. The drs finally "copped a clue" when I just kept calling them, they told me to stop taking it. That was yesterday morning.

"It is not a narcotic, therefore much easier to taper down your dose." I respectfully disagree. Gabapentin can be downright dangerous to come off if not done right, and in THIS case, we're talking very high doses. OP, I agree completely with vicki that you need to seek medical attention for this, and soon. You are risking very a serious health crisis taking the much Neurontin. PLEASE read the info below.

t remeber things like talking to me on the phone and then he got worse and started becoming mean and cruel. I broke up with him. I tried to be understanding and friendly because I felt sorry for him but he got worse and then started imagining I was changing his facebook password. He became a totally different person. He also told me they were giving him morphine. Is this normal with Gabapentin? I'm really sad about it.

These brain zaps almsot drove me to suicide and I am hoping that getting off the Gabapentin and taking these withdrawal meds will help. Wish me luck and good luck to you as well. Much love, brother or sister. God bless you.

Recently she has been experiencing panic-type attacks and possible hallucinations. The doc says her Synthroid levels are not too high--that was her first thought--but I wonder. Has anyone else experienced hallucinations due to hormone imbalance?

To sum this up, I really do think that the combination and the amount of medication your wife is getting is causing the Hallucinations and with a medication change, I feel that this can be controlled. I wish I had better advise for you but I think my story will tell you that a med change might do the trick. Please keep us informed.

t know if I can help on this. I have Bipolar II and BPD and have had hallucinations but those are usually part of the symptoms. Most the times I'll see something following me around as clear as if it was day but its not. Its not there, just imagined and I know that but its still there. I've seen the faces and felt the being touched, constant shivers. But I've made up my own imaginings to make them rational. The only one that bugs is the auditory.

Some people have psychiatric symptoms get worse or appear after taking an antipsychotic like a guy I just talked to today took a low dose of risperdal for anxiety and he started having hallucinations after taking it. Everyone is different really and their brains adjust to things differently.

I began taking Gabapentin for the electricity and muscle spasms in my legs. My initial dose was 100 mg at bedtime. Now, I am up to 100 mg 3 times daily. It has helped greatly, but recently I have been having some break-through spasms. I do not recall having had any "vibrations" from the medication itself.

I have taken gabapentin and xanax for 10+ years without problems. Xanax is a shorter acting benzodiazapine then librium. You may find you need less librium with gabapentin.

1. I take Abilify and Depakote, and sometimes psychoactive drugs have strange, rare side effects. 2. I am a kidney dialysis patient, and the Web tells me a very uncommon condition called dialysis disequilibrium syndrome, experienced during or after the treatments, can involve confusion, cognitive problems, or -- you guessed it -- hallucinations. I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts from readers.

health anxiety but stress and my nana just passed away on Friday from liver cancer but before she did she kept seeing things little bugs crawling on her and the doctors said it was hallucinations because she was dying.

d have to find out the specifics of your diagnosis as hallucinations can occur in bipolar with psychotic features (and schizoaffective disorder such as I have) and there are many subtypes of bipolar and hallucinations and psychosis can occur in some. If you have concerns about the side effects of Seroquel it would be essential to speak to your psychiatrist and discuss what other medication might not be unsafe to take as regards heart disease.

I am bipolar type 1 and I see shadows here and there and also hear voices whispers - this is enhanced by pot so I try not to go there any more. I would go to dr and talk with them about what you are seeing.

my father is 74, highly diabetic, he fell and broke his left hip about 3 years back, a month back he fell again and broke his right hip-bone and right shoulder. He is home after the surgery but very weak and totally bedridden. He on and off speaks non-sanely....but as evening falls, he starts to hallucinate that he has fallen and is lying out in the open or on the terrace of the house and keeps asking to be carried in and gets quite irritated that no one is bringing him in....

I am learning so much about bipolar and I have found that I have, in fact, been having mild hallucinations my whole life. I have not talked a lot to anyone about it in my family or any of my friends. I'm afraid they will think I'm super crazy and reject me or not let me around their kids because they think I'm dangerous. I just want some insight about how to approach the subject. I really want my loved ones to understand what I'm going through.

ve been through therapy, etc. and have been hospitalized against my will several times within the last 3 years but the mental health system is a joke where I live. Also, I do not believe in taking psychotropic medicine. I would like to say that I'm doing better depression-wise, no stress or anxiety, not as many mood swings, and don't cut anymore (but the urges are there & i can't be around sharp objects because of the temptation).

I have been diagnosed as BP II for almost 3 years and have never experienced hallucinations until now. I feel like I see things in my peripheral vision that are really not there. I have also occasionally heard things as well. Mood wise, I feel very stable. So this is completely alarming. I was put on a medication for a heart arrhythmia and it said a rare side effect was hallucinations - so that is a possible explanation. Does anyone experience this while seemingly stable?

My theraist siad it was just a symptom at this point and it is probably caused by stress. She told me to keep an eye on it and if it gets worse to tell my mental health care provider... I have an appointment with her on Sept 7th. I'm on Cymbalta 60mg/day in the am, Lamictal200mg/day at bedtime and Trazodone 2 -300 mg/day at bedtime. I'm not sure what to think. I'm not being told to hurt myself or anyone else so I guess I'm ok?

Im 3 months pregnant and have the strangest things happening. Im hullucinating alot?! Flying objects/ shadows , shoes and other things. Also I can't quite make out the difference between reality and a dream. It all seems real. Maybe i have a mild case of 'pregnancy brain' lol but its weird. Is this normal?

This is day 4 and feeling good except for not being able to sleep to save my soul. Last night I could have sworn the clothes in the laudry basket were moving. (Socks crawling over the edge, bathrobe holding up its sleeves to dance -honest to goodness magic mushroom like hallucinations. Could that because I'm dead tired or part of the withdrawals. That has never happened before and really got my attention. Any input?

I wake up sometimes with a headache and suffer hallucinations for a few hours after, I have trouble remembering what I was hallucinating about , this doesn't happen very often but is very disturbing. Can you help please.

I remember having hallucinations at age 6. I watched Outer Limits and at school I saw the alien bug from the show come out of a crack in the ground. I have never forgot it. When I was in my teens I often saw a hand put a coffee can down in my car or on my bed and a tarantula come crawling out of it, and I am terrified of them! Depending on your age, there might not have been any treatment protocol for kids your age.
