Can Oxycodone Administration During Cancer Treatment Cause Disorientation And Hallucination?
My mother is in the hospital on oxycotton. Just realized today that she is on it, she has lung cancer and is going through radiation. Just starting yesterday, she is having confusing thoughts and saying that she has talked to people that we know she hasn t and worst yet she told me today that she had just got off the phone with my Grandmother that has been deceased for 3-4 years. Is this somewhat normal?

HI
Well come to HCM
The symptoms of hallucination may due to the opiate "Oxycodone" if this is because of this drug then this would come around as soon the opiate stops and reduce the dose of this, hope this helps, take care.
