Are House MD hallucinations self induced or a product of his Vicodin usage? email this discussion to a friend?

aprylmay (29)3 months ago

Now I'm not all knowing on Vicodin usage, so I'm not sure if prolonged use (8 years plus) can cause hallucinations.

If you go back to season 4 finally, Wilson's Heart (part one and two), you watch the episode where Amber dies. During this finally, House does a number of Self Treatments where he Over Doses on Alzheimer's medication, undergoes direct electro shock therapy to his brain, and other radical "experiments".
Watch here: http://tvshack.net/tv/House/season_4/episode_15/

If you've watched season 5, you'll notice that House's entire team agrees that his mental instability is a product of Vicodin. In Season 6 his hallucinations are all gone (the writers make you believe it's because he's "off" Vicodin, but you can also assume it's because of his intense psychotherapy treatment).

What says you? Did he do it to himself the day Amber died, or is it a product of Vicodin?

I think that House's hallucinations are part of his vicodin usage. I don't think he is schzoprhenic or anuythiing like that. He is a doctor after all. I think that House
is maybe not fully recovered yet and he will probably continue to take vicodin at times. UYou know he isn't going to stay clean all through the season.

One of the side effects of Vicodin abuse is hallucination, and I think it's almost certain that the writers want us to think that his hallucinating Amber, Kutner and the night with Cuddy is due to his drug use. After all, if these hallucinations were caused by a mental illness, it would be much more difficult for House to get his medical license back, and if he can't get his medical license back, he can't practice medicine and the show will soon run out of storylines! So, it's more convenient for the writers to put his problems down to drug use, and, since that is a genuine side effect, they can get away with it, though I personally would prefer it if drugs were not the cause of his problems.
