Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello,

Depression and hallucinations cannot be due to esomeprazole. Stopping this drug will not help. Please ask him consult a local psychiatrist for detailed evaluation.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shubham Mehta, Psychiatrist
