My wife suffered terribly with hallucinations after she was put onto medication. She saw horrible faces zooming at her, dogs sitting on the settee, a dancing man in the corner of the room, coloured lights, the corner of the room peeling back and more.

It got so bad for her (she was only getting around 1.5 hours sleep a night and was frightened to go to bed so she slept on the settee to avoid disturbing me)that I had to sleep in the chair next to her.

Then I had to get up at 6am for work.

Prescribed drugs and a change of the Parkinson's meds stopped the problem.

Hello Tupps
I wonder if our experience will help you. My husband was convinced that lots of other people lived in our house and when he laid the table he would always ask how many places to lay. He often asked me where their bedrooms were. On one occasion he asked if I had booked him in for breakfast.
I tried to talk it through, when did he see these extra people and what were they doing. It seems that when he got up to the loo in the night he saw me lying in bed but didn`t recognise it was me and so thought we had a stranger in the house. I`ve used safety pins to pin to the headboard on my side a large label with my name on it and it seems to have done the trick.
Perhaps there is a similar misinterpretation of a real thing that is at the bottom of your husband`s problem.
Good luck
Hatknitter

Dear Hatknitter only just read your post thank you very much for your advice I find it very interesting that almost every one seem's to have the same delusion that being that there are more people in the home ext'and yes my Husband also has time's when he will put out more glasses and cups than necessary.Do ant of you find that your partner has mild problems with understanding task's that normally would be no problem at all,and struggle to understand thing,s I find that I am taking over more and more and I find it quite scary.I now thing's are getting harder and I know that my own ill health is making thing's worse, but I would like to say that most of the time we have is great' we really love each other and we laugh all the time .There is one thing I would like to tell you as I have said we have always had a good relationship so we think ourselves lucky.A very unusual thing has happened as I have said before Hubby has invented two of me any one would know one is more than enough. When I say to him which one are you talking to he laugh's and say's your the only one for me, which is good.Well here comes the good part in September we celebrate 43 years of marriage and on that day we are gong to have a wedding blessing and a small party afterwards all because of Parkinson's 'As my Husband seems to have fallen in love with me all over again .Well I hope it is me ha ha.So something to really look forward to once again thank you all for the advice and support.Whith much love Tupp's.

Hello Tupps,
I hope you had a lovely party and really enjoyed the day.
We had our 40th W/A and had over 100 people there with a disco and my husband danced with one of our friends to grease lightning and stole the show which was really great, we too asked for our friends to give money to PD and dogs for the disabled as I had one called lady who has now retired to live with our son and I have a new one called April, sadly my husband is now in a home so that was our last really good party and we look forward to our 50th in four years time when we will just be glad we have made it.
Enjoy the good days and if the bad ones get worse see if there is any other meds which will help your husband.
with lots of love
vivian
