The symptoms you have mentioned are suggestive of psychosis which needs immediate attention. If these symptoms began after starting neo-mercazole or after increasing its dose, then it could be related to it but if patient was on stable dose for a long period, then it could be due to other factors.
Next Steps
Consult your doctor who prescribed neo mercazole immediately and a psychiatrist as well
