Hi @tonyde
I'm glad to hear you handled this episode with good humor. It sounds like these hallucinations may be related to the medication changes your doctor made recently.
I once experienced a hallucination when a new medication was introduced – this was quite a few years ago.
Have you checked the information leaflets of your medications to see if hallucinations are listed as a potential side effect? Has your doctor made any adjustments to your medication dosages since the hallucinations started?

The doctor advised me to contact her should I have any other unusual activity. I'm ok so far.

The med change was from Lamictal to Lamictal ER. The hallucination occurred at he end of the 24-hour cycle. That shouldn't make a difference except it was a new drug and it may not have built up fully.
