Delirium: loquacious, talks all the time, sings, makes verses, raves; simulates Belladonna and Hyoscyamus, yet differs in degree.

The delirium is more furious, the mania more acute, while the congestion, though greater that Hyoscyamus, is much less that Belladonna, never approaching a true inflammation.

Stramonium  Disposed to talk continually ( Cicuta, Lachesis ); incessant and incoherent talking and laughing; praying, beseeching, entreating; with suppressed menses.

Desires light and company; cannot bear to be alone ( Bismuth ); worse in the dark and solitude; cannot walk in a dark room.

Awakens with a shrinking look, as if afraid of the first object seen.

Hallucinations which terrify the patient.

Desire to escape, in delirium ( Belladonna, Bryonia, Opium, Rhus ).
