Can Alcohol Withdrawal Cause Hallucinations?
Question: I recently cut a lot back on my drinking. Has been going well but just recently have had almost hallucinations and speaking in my dreams. Are the two related? And what are any suggestions. Thank you.
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
When exactly did you stop drinking? Are any of these thing happening when you are awake? If they are, this is a medical emergency and you need to visit an ER immediately. If they are only happening in your sleep, it is not dangerous and likely not related to alcohol use.
