What Causes Hallucinations After Taking Chantix, Baclofen, Pramipexole And Wellbutrin?

Recently I had a really bad experience with hallucinations caused by a combination of medications taken along with Chanix (sp). The other medications were Baclofen 20mg, pramipexole 2mg, Wellbutrin mg? and The Hallucinations caused me to go out driving at 5:00 am in my car and getting stuck in the snow. Trying to get the car out, for some reason made the car catch on fire. I was able to get out of the car before it became completely engulfed in flames and burned down to almost nothing. When the fire department arrived, I had no idea where i was at or why i was out driving. I was taken to the hospital for two days, had ivies to flush my system of the medications. The doctors said that the mixtures of the medications listed above were the cause of what happened. Since then the dosages have been lowered and chanix completely removed from what i take for medications. I am doing ok now except that i still have strange dreams and talk in my sleep. What is going on and why is this quit smoking medication still on the market even with all the possible side effects?

Hello,

First, you should know that each drug prescribed to you have specific effects. Chantix for smoking quit. Baclofen and Pramipexole have also the same effect and for agonist effect on the receptor.

Wellbutrin prescribed for anti-depression as quickly stoppage of smoking leads to anxiety, depression, mood swings etc.

All these medications with interaction may lead to hallucinations but not in all subjects. it depends on the mood of patient and thought process of individual.

You should start some physical work and try to live your life normally without smoking. And hallucinations are not direct side effects of all these drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
