No I havent, but they are a well documented side effects of this drug.

It's a drug that I wouldn't want to take because of it's many possible side effects; hallucinations being one of them :-

I know it has side effects but she wanted to know anyone elses experience with taking it and how it affected them.

Hi! I am Galasalmon's friend and at last able to get on to Answerbank - I would dearly appreciate it if I could find someone who has actually experienced the side-effects of this drug which, in my case, were absolutely terrifying - I know it is widely prescribed to people who have had no ill-effects.

I have taken them with no side effects. You must not drink alcohol when you are taking them.

[Hazlinny]

Never drink alcohol, Tilly 2. I just must be the 1 in 10,000 who have suffered ill effects and I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy! Ten days since I stopped taking them and I am JUST getting back to normal.

It's a medication I can't take, makes me violently sick, even without a tipple.

No hallucinations though.
