Hi I have been suffering from hypnogic hallucinations for a couple of months. Normally see a spider comming towards me, I do not suffer from daytime sleepiness, they are becoming more reoccurring and I do suffer from anxiety problems. Are these hallucinations anything to be concerned about?
His understand your concern. Hypnogogic hallucination is hallucination occur while going to sleep. But It is normal no spacial attention require. If it is more disturbing than it can be treated with SSRI and low dose of benzodiazepine. SSRI is also helpful in anxiety for which sertraline is preferable. Benzodiazapine like lorazepam i hour before going to bed is also beneficial to control hypnagogic hallucinations.If you require then consult psychiatrist. Thank you.
