Are auditory hallucinations a side effect of Gabapentin or Oxycodone (when used for a short period following a surgery)?
To give this question context, the following situation has been provided (not to be interpreted for diagnostic reasons specific to the individual):
A friendperson in hertheir 30's had surgery 2 weeks14 days ago, and so she has beenwas prescribed some medicine to manage her pain. She took Oxycodone was taken several times the day of and after her surgery and then Gabapentin for the following days. On the fourth day of recovery, while in her apartment where she lives alone in residence, she heard a deep man's voice sayis clearly and directly (as she reports) in her earheard, saying, "Get Out!"
She called me in tears and deeply disturbed because nothing like that has happened to her... and she was superstitious and afraid it was caused by... (well, something else). I tried to logically reassure her it was probably a side effect of her pain meds she's taking for her surgery, but I am not a doctor and have no idea so she should call her doctor if she has concerns. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
But anyway, Would Oxycodone be in her system 2 days later? Enough to cause auditory hallucinations? I know Gabapentin is a pain med that focuses on the brain, but from what I've read from the FDA, auditory hallucinations are a very rare side effect, but with remnant Oxycodone still in the body's system, could it cause auditory hallucination?
So basically... Could Oxycodone taken 2 days prior cause an auditory hallucination?
(NotAgain, not asking tofor a diagnosis my friend's case -- just wondering, in general, about how long Oxycodone could be in a person's system to cause auditory hallucinations? And if Gabapentin when taken a few days following Oxycodone, can cause auditory hallucinations?)
