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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.
