Hello Cyclizine is an anti-histaminic drug used in a number of conditions like allergy, nausea. Its has potential to cause sedation and drowsiness. She is also taking Codeine which is an opioid drug. Use of both drugs together results in intense effects and a lot of individuals abuse the drugs together. Cyclizine increases the effect of Codeine. So abrupt stoppage of the drug has not only resulted in withdrawal of cyclizine but it has also resulted in side effects due to decreased effects of codeine. This is the reason of hallucinations she is having. She has intense anxiety which is due to withdrawal effects.Consult a psychiatrist for expert opinion. Ask her to not to drive for few days.Thanks
