Thanks so much everyone for your input. I really appreciate it.

I should probably clarify this: I do have visual hallucinations, but the visual distortions I refer to above would probably not be classified as hallucinations because what I am seeing is actually there. I suspect it may be described as derealisation because I experience it as unreal. I feel like I'm in a dream or not really there. That makes it difficult for me to be sure whether something is genuinely happening or whether I'm hallucinating. I'll often ask one of my kids if they also heard a noise or saw something happen. Most of the time they confirm that it's real, but that they didn't sound or appear strange.

I came off antipsychotics a month ago. (I'm convinced that stuff was poison!!!) I may still be a bit paranoid, but physiologically I feel a whole lot better.

Like your son, Costello, the perceptual experiences have been while coming off antipsychotics, but they also preceded the start of hallucinations and delusions by several months.
