What causes hallucinations and vivid dreams?
human
Im on Lamictaol for a mood disorder.  I have a hard time falling asleep...thoughts rushing thru my head.  I was put on Trazodone 100mg..I get a little sleepy but my mind doesn't relax.  So I stopped taking them.  I also have had dreams so vivid like being in a camper and having to use the restroom...Im 38yrs old and have started to wet the bed...two time in 30 days.  I don't know what to due about.  I also heard heard my name being called out while laying in bed or a boat horn. Is hearing thing a side effect?

Hello,You have developed psychotic symptoms. You have not mentioned the reason for which you have been on lamictal; but you should stop that drug for now. After stopping lamictal you can wait for few days for these symptoms to settle down. Or you can add antipsychotic staraight away. Drugs like olanzapine or resperidone or even quiteapine can help you a lot. Take any of these in evening/night time. Within a day or so you will have relief in all symptoms. For sleep : you may add zolpidem or lorazepam for some days and later stop them.hope the reply is useful.Good luck.Dr. Manisha GopalMD Neuropsychiatry
