Suggest treatment for hallucinations and disorientation
Patient: patient had seizure first time ever in september, i came home and patient was extremely confused in discussions, he started hallucinating, took to hospital and he was sent home with ativan, took one and he got 100x worse, he is now in critical condition Doctor: Hi.Thank you for asking question. I had gone through it.I understand your concern.It is post ictal confusion.It is occur with seizure.After convulsion has stopped there is period in which patients become disoriented and hallucinated.This period can range from 30 min to 2 days.But proper treatment of seizure can prevent further convulsion and post ictal disorientation.Ativan contain lorazepam and  only ativan can not help.This kind of convulsion can be treated with medicines like phenytoin, valporate, levitracitam,clobazam etc.Consult best neurologist and get help.I hope i have answered your query.Happy to help you.Thank you.
