Or, perhaps less common than do you? I don't know.
Really, this is not the way to try and understand this better. I find only a single paper with a case report (no abstract) in my search of Pubmed, and only non-specific reference as an infrequent occurrence (defined as occurring in less than 1%), in a few drug monographs.
I've had visual disturbances from pharmaceutical drugs, and there was no resemblence to hallucinogens (mescaline, LSD), despite the fact that hallucination might be used to describe the occurrence.
I want to emphasize, link, I'm not trying to argue that there aren't problems with these drugs. I have a problem with (not a doctor of medicine but philosophy) Ann Blake Tracy.
