Hi TrailRunner,
Welcome. This is a great topic to bring up about on the forum. In my experience side effects to medication is discussed far to little when in reality people can be impacted by side effects quite frequently. In regards to your odd experience of hallucinations I would recommend a few things. First off I would try to remember these experiences and recall all the events surrounding them ie. what you ate, how you were feeling, any other medications taken that day etc.
I would then go to your GP and discuss the side effect experiences in detail. Your GP may do a medication review with you and look at your dose etc. Having detailed information on hand about the experiences will be helpful so your GP has the whole picture.
As with any side effect, it is important to discuss them with your GP so you can look at strategies to reduce their impact as well as track their occurrence. It is possible that others have experienced something similar on the beyondblue forums and this can be helpful to have someone to share in the experience. But is also important to seek some medical advise in relation to this hallucination type event so you can better understand if it is medication related. Keep us posted on your progress.
Wishing you the best possible outcome,
Nurse Jenn
