I get audio and visual hallucinations when I'm off my meds, or on the wrong meds. While I'm hallucinating I'm amazed at how real it all seems. It causes a tremendous amount of trouble for me. The only way to get rid of them is by being on the right meds.

Thank you, suninboom. I was a fraid of that. hopefully the dr can get me in sooner. have a great night!

i get audio and visual hallucinations when i am on medication and off.
they come and go, nothing really stops them i have just accepted they are part of my illness.

At one point I was having aural hallucinations with voices that I could barely understand speaing somewhere over my shoulder. I never saw a thing and only recongnized a couple of nonsensicle sentences so it was just a very confusing time for me. These hallucinations lasted about two or three months and then drifted away back into silence. I can't remember the meds I was on back then since I'm treatment resistant and I've been on so many different meds over the years but it was a strange time to be me that's for sure. It's very unnerving to have someone or something talking to you that's for sure, especially when you can't understand what they're saying. Sorry I don't have any practical advice for you except maybe to say that your hallucinations may just drift away and stop bugging you sometime.
Good luck, I hope you find some stability very soon.

I get psychotic and believe things that aren't real, usually the same scenario that my husband has left and I have to move. I get really worked up and hysterical thinking it's true.

I've had some hallucinations but it was in connection to some medication going south on me. I was listening to a zombie story on my ipod and ran across the bridge and there was a zombie on the other side. I ran away pretty fast but I'm pretty sure that was a hallucination....I had some other stuff happen too but nothing as real and weird as the zombie.

just don't pay attention to them. the more you concentrate on them the worse things get.

I can hear voices when I'm not on my meds, but they aren't talking to me. They are just in the background chatting away and sometimes I will randomly hear something clearly that doesn't really make any sense. I'm off my meds right now due to not being able to afford them and having to wait to get them for free. So now they are here off and on and sometimes it just sounds like static like a messed up TV.

I know that's not really advice, but it always helps me to know other people are having similar problems.

I see shadows, and what appear to be "bugs" crawling on the walls. I can usually only see these bastards from the corner of my eyes. I also hear people calling my name(this happens more frequently when I am watching television). I was on melarill once before, but that just made the problem worse. I just deal with it. I've punched many walls and have thrown objects at my hallucinations...which has cost me some money. They look so real, it's hard to tell.

I too have auditory hallucinations and feel like I can hear someone talking behind me. I also have this delusional belief that people can read my mind -- that I've done something terrible and everyone knows but nobody will tell me- its very hard to handle. Meds help but it still pokes its way through.

I've had auditory hallucinations and I needed an anti psychotic... Can you get in to see your GP??
He can prescribe medication for you... A psychiatrist is important as it's his specialty however a family doctor does take training in psych and can help you in the meantime
Big hug for you...x

Mine are so horrible at times I can't ignore them. Some of them are nice and I like when they come around. The doctors are working on getting medicine right for me. But in the time while we wait on medicine to work they want me to try seeing if dealing with my past and present trauma will help. Sometimes for some people that is all is takes apparently is to actually face your fears and deal with the demons within yourself, as scary as that sounds. I once saw a really creepy scary vortex that I thought was going to suck me in and it terrified me. The doctor said if I see it again maybe try touching it and my brain might realize it isn't real and go away, lucky for me I haven't seen it again but hopefully I don't I am not looking forward to trying to touch it.
