Hello,
* As per my surgical experience, it is the side effects of Ziprasidone ( Geadon),which is giving hallucinations.
* Has to be discussed with the consultant regarding the same and further dosage adjustments is mandatory to recover early.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
