I was also hearing people calling my name and speaking and it really began to scare my mother. I got to the point I called 9-1-1 and went in basically i got an expensive ride to the hospital b/c those chose not to treat me. Saturday night got really bad and I hadn't slept since Wednesday. Celebrex kind of put me into a manic episode with auditory and visual hallucinations. On Sunday I kept thinking it was night time. At 11 am i laid down to sleep and would sleep 10 min and wake up in a panic over the bugs.
