Of how to know to stay calm, it's only a halucination that will pass.
Any tips, to quickly run through to check off it's not reality being seen?
Or what should care giver say to person having halucination? For example say... no not in a cult... or no fire.
Or should care giver do a mind interruption by saying something totaly bazzare, as not happening in hallucination. Care giver says Did you see the geese? Or bob bought a new boat... when person having hallucination is saying fire or you (caregiver) is in a cult.
Thanks

Are you the caregiver to a spouse with Parkinson’s? My husband has had hallucinations for some time. Just wondered your situation before I respond.
Not necessarily. My husband reduced his meds from six pills a day, 25/100 Sinemet, down to 3 and no change to hallucinations but motor functions declined. We’re going back up.
I read on here some months ago of a wife giving her husband 1000 mg of niacin 3x a day and his hallucinations were gone within 24 hrs. It said to google Abrahm Hoffner who treated patients this way. Of course check with your dr., I just saved the post because hallucinations sound scary to me. The wife also added if she missed a dose the hallucinations returned.i haven’t researched it just wanted to share the info in case it could help.
Husband has a dr appt this week where I am going to ask about Hardy’s Essential Nutrients that has all B components that I would like to try. Read your article. Again, stating what I’ve heard on here. Hope something helps.
To the best of my knowledge, hallucinations are a side effect of medication. Your husband should try to rely less on medication and more on exercise. No medication does anything to help slow down the progression of Pd, whereas exercise does.
