Side Effects for Voriconazole (voriconazole)
I'm writing on behalf of my dad who has ALL. He experienced hallucinations (auditory and visual), and couldn't sleep at all because they were so strong.
I ended up doing some research and found a clinical paper (PMCID: PMC2727751) which had testimonials from patients with exactly the same sort of hallucinations as him.Really weird that my dad, a 62 year old Indian man who hates sci-fi, described Chewbacca to a T, which was in one of the comments in the paper above. Hope this helps someone else in a similar position.
