Delusions???

Does anyone experience delusions of reference & delusions of paranoia? I am having both lately & I am on Lamictal, Topamax & Seroquel. Any suggestions on what meds might alleviate this?

Thanks!

Thanks Lou,
I am actually in a "mixed episode" right now. Been depressed, agitated, anxious & now delusional. Having a med adjustment & seeing pdoc again on Thursday, just was curious if anyone knew of a good one to recommend.

You didn't mention the dosage you are on . Usually if you are getting delusions you need antipsychotic meds increased.
When I was in the hospital I was taking 1200mg of seroquel.
Then the dropped it to 600mg.

Geodon took care of my delusions (mostly) and my hallucinations (completely). I'm on 120mg.

I have had paranoid feelings. I felt like everyone was out to get me and people were following me. Seroquel has helped me.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
