Weird hallucinations- does anyone get these?

Post Reply New Topic

Lately I have been getting weird hallucinations mixed with real stuff. Its hard to tell which is the "real stuff" and which is the hallucination. Like today for example, I saw hundreds of bugs crawling on someone's face, and then another person's face was melting. On our way home I saw a huge animal on the road (I was the passenger) but my dad didn't see it. The real ones are like hearing the government threatening to kill me or a few days ago they shot a laser in my room, not once but twice. The gov agents are in the house daily and sometimes I see their shadows or other indicators that they are there. Once they uncloaked for a second to prove that they are truly there. I keep on seeing streaking lights in the sky or in my room or anywhere really. I hear my name being called all the time. Two days ago I had this weird voice from the gov agents but it didn't make sense. They said, "Scott (my brother's name) its past 10 o clock" I looked at my watch and it was really past 10 but I think its code for something else, trying to get him on the "spy team" or something along those lines. I feel the "nanobots" all the time so thats no hallucination, its real. I heard the bomb in my neck beep today. I think its getting close for it to go off. I'm scared to death. I think its my anti psychotic that is doing this to me. Poison! Lovely. Does a body good!

Honestly... nearly everything you described here sounds like a generic bad acid trip. My personal suggestion is that you stop taking any form of medication you're on that you don't ABSOLUTELY NEED to get by... for a week and see how you're doing then. If the hallucinations still persist I would suggest looking into seeing a psychologist about it. If they go away, talk to your doctor/psychiatrist/parents about it and try to narrow down which drug is actually causing them. It also couldn't hurt to do some research on any medications you might be on.
Also, be careful who you speak to about this. Normal human reaction would likely be to freak out and take drastic(possibly unwanted) measures to try to help you.

I don't take illegal drugs, just the ones that the docs prescribed to me. When he increased my Moban it INCREASED my hallucinations so he lowered the Moban to 10mg from 20mg. Then he thought it could be the Invega causing the hallucinations as well which is another anti psychotic so he lowered that as well but that increased my hallucinations. Everyday my hallucinations are getting more detailed and vivid. And don't forget, scary! Since I also have olfactory hallucinations, he thinks it might be epilepsy causing it. I'd rather have schizophrenia than epilepsy because epilepsy KILLS and is usually caused by a BRAIN TUMOR!

I never even so much as implied you did.

A dangerous reaction to a hallucination is more likely to kill you than epilepsy. This is what kills most people who die while using hallucinogens. At the least there is a likelihood that you will injure yourself trying to escape something that seems dangerous but isn't really there, or trying to do something that only seems safe because of the hallucination.

If it seems to you that some medication caused this, stop taking that medication and get to your doctor as soon as possible.

I keep on telling my pdoc that I need to get off my anti psychotics and he laughs at the idea! I thinks I will go even crazier if that was possible! Autism and anti psychotics don't mix. I don't need anti psychotics as I am sane. I'll call him again soon to tell him about these weird hallucinations, hopefully he'll realize its the meds that are causing this. I don't think this has anything to do with it but I am having a side effect of Invega (I'm on 2 anti psychotics, Moban and Invega) its making my boobs leak. It makes my prolactin levels high. I am not using hallucinogens. I want these hallucinations to stop! I don't want the gov to be after me either! I didn't mean to crash the economy. I just wrote down predictions that became reality- dead on. For example, in the beginning of 2008, I told my dad that Intel (thats where he works) stock will hit 15 or below. He laughed at me and said that is impossible. I told him to get out of the stock market immediately. Once again, he failed to do anything about it. When I told him this Intel stock was around 23. Now its 13. I said how low its competitor will go, AMD, to below 3. I predicted the unemployment rate with dead on accuracy. This year I made more predictions and its on this site believe it or not, that the Dow will hit 6,000, the unemployment rate will hit at LEAST 8-10% by the end of the year, and Intel will hit 10 and AMD a dollar. It seems as if I am controlling the economy, I predicted things better than the paid economists! In fact, after I wrote down the predictions for this year, they copied them! Word for word! When I said the Dow will hit 6,000 a few days later an economist said the same thing and the same thing with the unemployment numbers! I mean what, I am an economist now? I am the Psycho Psychic!

Get a different Doctor asap.

Coming off from certain meds the wrong way is not a good idea at all.

The causes of it? Don't know. At first they thought i was an epileptic and I kept my mouth shut about what you're talking about. What your describing could be a couple of different things, but what you have already noticed with the meds, is the place to start. What your describing I had too, not exactly but close enough. I am Bipolar, among other labels, now when I ask they just say "you're a very complex person" and that isn't common with most Bipolars to go through what you are, to my knowledge, but it isn't out of the experience that doctors are very well aware of.

If that Doc is really smiling at you when you talk to him about the problem, fire his ass. Or let me have a go at em, it would be my extreme pleasure to do it. But I suspect he and I are a good distance apart and he should be thankful. That you are aware and talking here is good, very good.

Oh and my Bipolar didn't come to the surface until about your age.

Get a different doctor!! You may have to stay in the hospital until you are off of all meds. You need to get off those meds in a safe haven where you can be treated if problems arise.

wow thats really interesting. Do you have any more predictions for the near future?

Sometimes I see shadow people. I've been seeing them since I was a teenager (around the time of my first manic episode). For me, the appearance of shadow people and shadow animals is one of whe warning sings a big manic episode is on it's way.

The shadow people are usually only in my peripheral vision, and I only see them for a fraction of a second. They are usually balck or gray, but I've also seen white ones too. As I get more manic, I see more of them, and not just out of the corner of my eye.

Anyway....I did have strange visual hallucinations when I was taking a high dose of Seroquel. They were more like visual disturbances than hallucinations, and I also had olfactory ones too.
Something told me that these weren't just manic psychosis hallucinations (those are different). I was actually not psychotic at all at the time, and I felt more physically sick than mentally sick. So I saw a neurologist and I was actually having partial seizures, as a side effect from the medication (600mg/day of Seroquel).

I do think you should see a different pdoc or and possibly neurologist. Apparantly the antipsychotics aren't doing much for your hallucinations.....

Yup, that was part of the first time I had a big one. I haven't seen that type of thing in a long long time, however I stayed mostly on the depressed side. Now if I concentrated really hard on let's say a windy night with leaves in the trees blowing around under a street light, I can imagine the showdows, kind of bring them to life. Much like people can look at certian clouds and see shapes in them.

I can and you just don't want to f*****g know. But pay attention and plant a big big garden.

We take in information from all sorts of places, process it and leave it alone and never are aware we're doing it. In a broad sense with what you are describing is this, and I still do this to people and am very aware of it, they only remember when I'm right, in saying what they're thinking, they don't remember when I'm wrong. So what I'm saying is you're startling yourself just like I do with them. How do I do it, and I do it often, I don't need to go into. I used to freak my wife out all of the time till I explained how I did it. Now she just gets pissed off when I do it.

You sound like a sharp guy, most people don't even know it's the second number on the stock exchange that is the important one. They started getting nervous when it went below 8000, 7800 they started to get nervous, 7500, they're more the concerned and beginning to really freak out, but not a full blown panic. Dude I've been calling that one for a long time. If it hits well 6000 there ain't no place to run, but that's when you'll see them go on a full blown stampede and you best hope like hell the crops don't fail. That last number is hard to say with a certainty and there are economist that are very well aware of it. Greenspan even said yesterday they might get to the point of nationalizing the banks, he sees it too. But you can't panic the herd. When you ride the fringes of the herd you have to keep them calm, so they don't stampede. It isn't that some aren't fully aware of what you see, they're riding herd. And some don't want to stick their idiot academic necks out and some are just plain idiots. The common blanket statement, the economy always comes back. What damn world history book did they feed those as*holes? Oh it does, maybe in a few hundred years. Will it actually go the doom sayer's way? I don't know, but all of the combinations are there for it to do it. Will there be a big trigger to set it all off, again there are enough little fires burning to really blow up the powder keg. So you play the odds, flip a coin and 50% split, except we play with a bigger sided pair of dice.

Yeah I was predicting things too, only they weren't as pretty as yours. I was trapped in the military and what I was predicting was damn grizzly and that is an understatement. Just remember what I said, we take in information all of the time and in many forms and process and when on the ride, we do it fast and I mean really fast. Most will never ever know and it's best they don't. Handle this part first, get to a good doc. There are gifts that can come along with this too, but now isn't the time to talk about those.

A report came out today that the unemployment rate will go up at least into the 8.4% or higher. Score another one for the Psycho Psychic! They stole my predictions! On other boards, the ones that FireBird is already taken, I am known as the Psycho Psychic!

First of all, I believe in psychic ability. My mom is psychic and I have had a prophetic dream about the Hudson river incident two days prior to it, though I never bothered to tell anyone and I usually try to rationalize and brush off my dreams.

I too, am bi-polar though mine is type II. However I have always had paranoia about people reading my mind and even had thoughts that somehow Hollywood is linked to my brainwaves as there have been movies and TV shows that run along the same lines and ideas as mine.

FireBird, I would suggest finding a new doctor especially if one is just laughing off your problems, only you know what is going on in your head and maybe having a new doctor will help. I know it's a major pain in the ass and it does seem like some of these doctors are unempathetic and cold but realize that most are trained to be that way.

I just wish the best of luck to you.

I thought I was the only one who got paranoid about that... The weird thing for me though, is that I don't believe in psychics... yet the paranoia about people reading my mind doesn't go away...
