> wow, auditory hallucinations are a rare side effect of any medication. What exactly are you on? Can you describe these hallucinations?
Currently I am just on Nardil 75 mg, but even AD-free I experience the auditory hallucinations on pretty much any anticholinergic like Seroquel, Benadryl, Unisom, and Flexeril. The hallucinations are mainly voices, but also other sounds like cars starting or dishes breaking. For example, I will be walking down the street and hear someone whisper "Is that Nick <Last Name>?" only to look around and nobody is around. Or I will be lying in bed and hear different voices, like a black man with a deep voice or trio of girls who all talk at the same time so I can't understand what any of them are saying.
If you search google for "auditory hallucinations benadryl" you get a bunch of posts from recreational drug users who have similar auditory hallucinations plus a bunch of other effects on insanely high doses. Seems like I am super sensitive to the auditory hallucination side effect and can experience it at therapeutic dosages.
