What Causes Hallucination When On Medication For Heart Disease?
I am affected by AMD and Glaucoma since last year and I'm almost totally blind, I have read about the Charles Bonney syndrome and experienced exactly the mentioned syndromes. They did stop eventually and sinc about 1 week I have hallucinations agai only now there are quite different patterns. I do take different heart medications, could they play a role in these halicinations?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
There are lot of medication that cause visual hallucination. You did not mention the medications that you are taking, so in that case, it is difficult to judge which drug is causing it. Rest in charles bonnet syndrome, sometime, even on medications patients get visual hallucination. In that case, first try to find the drug that could cause visual hallucination and then you can try to increase the dose of antipsychotic.
Thanks
