The woman presented with complaints of visual hallucinations, daytime sleepiness and fatigue. The first occurrence of hallucinations was noted after her coronary artery bypass graft surgery. After the surgery, she developed atrial fibrillation and began experiencing neuropathic pain in her chest. Subsequently, she was started on off-label gabapentin for neuropathic pain. Approximately 1 month In this case series, the authors describe four patients with either visual or musical hallucinations associated with sensory impairment who were successfully treated with gabapentin. Abstract Sensory impairment hallucinations, such as visual hallucinations with visual loss, may not respond to traditional treatments such as antipsychotics. In this case series, the authors describe four patients with either visual or musical hallucinations associated with sensory impairment who were successfully treated with gabapentin. Although there have been increasing reports of intentional gabapentin misuse, epidemiological evidence for the phenomenon is limited. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are pharmacovigilance abuse signals for gabapentin. Using This guide aims to explore whether gabapentin can cause hallucinations, the possible medical treatments for hallucination -related symptoms, and tips for managing any associated side effects. We present a patient who suffered visual hallucinations and agitation associated with an increase in pregabalin dose, resolving completely after pregabalin discontinuation. Acute visual hallucinations should be considered in the clinical spectrum of very rare side effects of pregabalin use, especially at higher doses. A 65-year-old woman with no psychiatric history developed visual hallucinations while taking gabapentin five times daily. Her hallucinations resolved after discontinuation of gabapentin and have remained absent after 1 year of follow-up. In this article, we report four cases of hallucinations associated with sensory impairment, three visual hallucinations and one musical hallucination, that responded to gabapentin. To our knowledge, this is the only case of musical hallucinations successfully treated with gabapentin. Assessment with the Naranjo et al. adverse drug reaction scale indicated a probable relationship between the patient's visual hallucinations and gabapentin use. CONCLUSION: A 65-year-old woman with no psychiatric history developed visual hallucinations while taking gabapentin five times daily. Call your doctor right away if you have a rash, itching, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, or any swelling of your hands, face, or mouth while you are using this medicine. Gabapentin may cause vision changes, clumsiness, unsteadiness, dizziness, drowsiness, sleepiness, or trouble with thinking. A 70-year-old man 1 experienced visual hallucinations while receiving gabapentin. The man had underlying chronic kidney disease (on haemodialysis), cataracts and cerebrovascular disease, specifically old bilateral occipital and right frontal lobe infarcts. H allucinations related to sensory deprivation include visual hallucinations with visual impairment and musical hallucinations with auditory impairment. In studies of those with visual disorders, 6.3%–13% report visual hallucinations, often beginning with a sudden decrease in vision. 1 – 3 Studies of comparison subjects undergoing visual sensory deprivation reveal that 19%–77% develop Hallucinations is reported as a side effect among people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Nuplazid, and have Parkinson's disease. The medications most often associated with visual hallucinations include those used to treat high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, psychiatric and mood disorders, movement disorders like Parkinson disease, and some antibiotics, Dr. Fraunfelder said. A 75-year-old man developed visual hallucinations and delirium following withdrawal of gabapentin given for neuropathy. The man had a significant history of hypertension, chronic kidney disease, neuropathy and osteoarthritis. He underwent total knee arthroplasty, after which he presented to the emergency department with knee pain and swelling a week after receiving unspecified steroid. Purpose: A case of probable gabapentin-induced visual hallucinations in a patient with no psychiatric history is reported. Summary: A 65-year-old white woman with no history of psychiatric A 65-year-old woman with no psychiatric history developed visual hallucinations while taking gabapentin five times daily. Her hallucinations resolved after discontinuation of gabapentin and have remained absent after 1 year of follow-up. A 65-year-old woman developed visual hallucinations during treatment with gabapentin. She received gabapentin [route and dosage not stated] for right flank pain. In this case series, the authors describe four patients with either visual or musical hallucinations associated with sensory impairment who were successfully treated with gabapentin.
