Suggest Treatment For Hallucinations
5'3 120lbs 45yrs old My sister was on this white horse for a month and we think she's been off of it for about three weeks now. She is very paranoid she thinks that everyone is out to get her and that we planted camera's in her body and vehicles. She will also run the streets for hours like a child thats running away from home. So my questions are, Is this normal for someone who has already detoxed? And how long will this all last? We want to help her but we are already getting tired. Please help!! We dont know what else to do

Hello,
Usually we wait for few weeks (4-6) after detox and see if the pstchiatric symptom decrease or stop. If they increase or dont reduce, it is best to start antipsychotics.
So, in her case please consult the doctor and get her treated. Waiting for more time will not serve any purpose.
She can be given olanzapine or resperidone and she will show improvement in few days only.
Wish you good health.
