How To Stop Hallucination After Surgery?

Can an elderly person who has had 2 surgeries in 3 weeks (2 broken hips) who is experiencing hallucinations after the surgeries be expected to quit the hallucinating, or is a medication needed to "help" her to do so? This person was prescribed Zyprexa at the time to stop her hallucinating, and now I find that she cannot be taken off the drug easily. Is that so?
