After a 2 year battle with trying to keep my grandmother(80 yrs old with PD) in her own home we, just last week, had to admit her to a care facility. She is adjusting well and is being very well taken care of. However, her nurses and doctors are stumped with one thing. She is having very violent hallucinations in the evenings. Seeing babies burning, seeing people shoot each other to death, etc. When we first put her on Sinamet 1 year ago aproximately, she had these hallucinations. We cut back the dosage and they seem to go away. We have started her on another medicine along with the Sinamet. Not sure of the name. I am wondering if any of you have heard of this before or experienced it at all. The experts say this is new to them. That they have not seen this associated with PD or Altzheimers, which we think she also may have. We are trying to keep her happy in as many ways possible for she is in the later stages of PD and it hurts to see the fear in her eyes associated with these hallucinations. Any help you can give would be much appreciated.
