How do you get rid of Hallucinations?

There are a couple schools of thought on this. One possibility is that hallucinations are simply an organic brain disorder. If this is the case, you should learn to distinguish between the hallucinations and reality, then ignore the hallucinations as much as possible. Talking with an understanding person about what you are seeing can help - they can tell you what is real and what isn't.

Some people think hallucinations, particularly voices, are parts of the subconscious mind, and that it's best to listen to them to figure out what they want. If some repressed psychological issue is causing the problem, then the hallucinations might go away when you deal with it.

Still others think that hallucinations are a kind of breaking through of the spirit world. If this is the case, the solution would be to live a good life. This way you will avoid attracting the negative spiritual influences that cause harmful hallucinations.

I would suggest a combination of these approaches. Listen to the voices and try to deal with whatever they bring up, but only if what they want is positive and doesn't hurt you or someone else. Before doing anything the voices suggest, run it by someone you trust - if they say it's a bad idea, don't do it. Meanwhile, you should be trying to live a good life and helping others whenever you can, to cover your bases in case the third possibility is correct. If you are religious, you should be actively involved in your religion.

Note that I didn't mention anti-psychotic medication. Anti-psychotics are never a good idea. They cause brain damage that will ultimately make the problem worse, and leave many people with a permanent Parkinsons-like condition. These drugs were designed for the convenience of society, not to help the patient.

People are still a little uncertain as to how hallucinations are formed and why they occur, but there are a few theories that seem to each play a part. The most common theories involve chemicals in the brain known as serotonin and dopamine. These chemicals are usually present in the brain to transmit signals from one brain cell to another and it is thought that in hallucinations some of these might be found in high levels, or in the wrong place. Other theories include that hallucinations are the brain interpreting normal visual signals wrong, or that the signals sent to the brain are faulty to begin with.

It all depends on why you have them.

If by drinking/using drugs - stop drinking/using. They will go away when you are sober/clean.

If by medicine - you have to consult your doctor if you can change to another or get another medicine to deal with it if it's a side effect of the first medicine.

If by condition, disease or injury - you will probably need medicine for it to go away. Can also sometimes require brain surgery. If it's due to high fever it will go away when the fever does.

Hallucinations can be stopped by dealing with the cause. If it is caused by hallucinogens, then stop taking those without medical supervision. Keep in mind that LSD-induced hallucinations may occur at any point in time even after the drug is stopped.

If the hallucinations are caused by a mental health condition, then see a psychiatrist if you haven't already, and make sure you take any medications prescribed to stop the hallucinations. Illnesses like schizophrenia or mania can cause hallucinations, so if you have those, you need to stay on the treatment.

If you mean what its like to trip, then you dont really have hallucionations(unless you take enough). Like you dont just see things that totally arent there with normal and even high doses of lsd, shrooms, whatever. Instead things that are allready there will appear as if there brearhing, and sometimes moving back and forth. And colors and brightness becomes enhanced and colors can sometimes change drastically. And "hallucionating" is only half the fun of tripping.

Some pretty crazy stuff goes on your mind, but i dont feel like getting into that right now.

Hallucinosis is a condition when the body identifies something incorrectly. It could be any of the five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing. It is never considered a "normal" condition and often is due to a treatable condition. If you have hallucinations, seek medical treatment.
