My husband of 3+ years had a black dog when we were dating. But he was the only one who could see him. After we married, the dog was around: if he was staring into space, I would ask about his dog. My husband became very close to my dad. When Daddy passed, he started seeing both his father and mine. Both hallucinations bothered him.
So I started researching and found Nuplazid via the Michael J Fox Foundation website. Within 10 days of nightly use, the hallucinations stopped. He sometimes misses his black dog but is grateful he no longer sees the fathers.
