Yuck Vampi... Auditory hallucinations are no good. I have never personally dealt with them but I have been around and worked with people who did have them. I have seen things but never lost touch with reality so I'm not willing to call it a hallucination. I realized they weren't real. It was just a vision.. like a vivid imagination. "Psychotic features" are common in bipolar disorder especially when you're cycling.... not sure what your mood is like but sometimes people start hearing or seeing things right before or right in the middle of an episode (either hypomanic or depressed). Abilify is a good medication but I had bad anxiety from it when it was increased to 10mg. If it doesn't help the hallucinations, talk to your doc because there are better meds to treat those symptoms (anti-psychotic medications). Hang in there and keep track of what's happening so if it happens in the future you can know what coming up. Take good care!!!!
