What causes anxiety and hypnogic hallucinations?
human
Hi I have been suffering from hypnogic hallucinations for a couple of months. Normally see a spider comming towards me, I do not suffer from daytime sleepiness, they are becoming more reoccurring and I do suffer from anxiety problems. Are these hallucinations anything to be concerned about?

HiI understand your concern.Hypnogogic hallucination is hallucination occur while going to sleep.But It is normal no spacial attention require.If it is more disturbing then it ca be treated with SSRI and low dose of benzodiazapine.SSRI is also helpful in anxiety for which setraline is preferable.Benzodiazapine like lorazepam i hour before going to bed is also beneficial to control hypnogogic hallucinations.If require then consult psychiatrist.Thank you.
