Hospice and Palliative Care Specialist Questions Hallucinations

My mother has been hallucinating. Is it due to her medication?

My mother has been hallucinating a lot lately. Could it be due to her medicine dosage? Her nursing home has her on antipsychotics.

Antipsychotics are used to treat hallucinations. Ask her doctor if the hallucinations are improving on the medication, if not they can consider a different dose or antipsychotic.
Hello, That is a great question for you to ask her physician. You can also GOOGLE the medication and find out what the common side-effects are. (I work on the integrative side, not with medications.) All the best, https://www.oncologyspasolutions.com/
