Is there medication available for Charles Bonnet Syndrome?

There is medication available for Charles Bonnet Syndrome. It is not CBS specific but is used for conditions like epilepsy and dementia. It does not mean that the person has developed either of those conditions. It just so happens that for some people that will work. usually people ask to try that medication if the hallucinations are 24 hours a day and completely unbearable but of course it comes with its own side effects. It is worth mentioning that some medications which people take for other conditions has as a side effect visual hallucinations which means that if you are taking this medication and you have Charles Bonnet syndrome you're getting a double whammy of visual hallucinations. Medication which does this includes some eye drops called atropine eye drops, tricyclic antidepressants, they are I think the old-fashioned antidepressants, urinary incontinence medication and gastric ulcer medication which is also taken for many gastric conditions drugs like omeprazole they have visual hallucinations as a side effect and so the double whammy happens. It's always worth taking that information to your GP and asking for a review of all the medication. For some people coping strategies work and these involve shunting the brain into another gear so reaching out towards the medication, clicking your fingers, clapping your hands, singing, whistling, standing up, sitting down, walking about, turning on music, turning off music, changing the lighting, anything which distracts the brain. Charles Bonnet syndrome leaps in when the brain is totally relaxed and inactive. Travelling as a passenger in a car is the perfect opportunity for Charles Bonnet to jump in and people talk about huge trucks coming towards them or the landscape changing they're driving through water people walking across the road armies marching towards them all to do with an inactive brain So anything that helps to distract the brain. Some people think that meditation but mindfulness meditation not the meditation that you stare into space. Mindfulness meditation can help as can aromatherapy massage. Eating ginger so long as it doesn't affect any other medication you're taking can also help as it has its own medicinal properties as can omega-3 and anything else um that does help you please let me know
