If anyone has any suggestions or know of anything that might help a sufferer of Charles Bonnet Syndrome - who is having constant extremely disturbing hallucinations, which are disrupting their daily activities and preventing them getting a good nights sleep. It would be appreciated. Has been prescribed anti-psychotic drugs but side effects are extreme.

The macular society have an info leaflet and helpline on this. Sorry not got the tel number to hand but it's on their website.
It is a condition which I gather tends to last for around 18months. There is a doc here in the UK researching the condition whom I know would welcome talking to any sufferers although he does not offer any cure.
I could probably dig out his details.
