    Does this medicine help with hallucinations or delusions?

      Hi Kathy---yes, it can help a lot.  Brand name is Seroquel.  There are numerous old threads about its use, it is one of the more well tolerated drugs in a family called atypical antipyschotics.  Can be used for sleep, agitation, delusions, hallucinations, a number of different things.  My partner takes it (so far, just a dose at bedtime) and has helped her sleep fragmentation a lot.  Not everyone tolerates it, but most do.

      My step father is taking it for his sexual behavior and it is keeping him out of trouble:) I like it because it may make him sleepy but he isn't a zombie like another med they tried.
