What Causes Nightmares And Hallucinations While On Carbidopa-Levodopa And Trazadone?
My mother has been diagnosed parkinsons and has a history of afib, chf and glaucoma. since she has begun taking the carbidopa-levadopa, neupro patch and trazadone. she seems to be having more nightmares and gets very confused. sometimes she has hallucinations. her neurologist gave her Nuplazid for the hallucinations and it has helped but she still gets them. Is there anything else i can do?
You should know that hallucinations are partially related to levodopa adverse effects. I agree with her doctor drug choices. I would just recommend reducing the dose of levodopa is the situation gets worse.
Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards, Dr. Aida
