You know my pdoc thought I might have that in addition to psychosis because I had smell hallucinations that were around for a while after I was on meds and all the voices went away. But then they all went away like a month later so I never got tested. On the plus side, maybe there are better medications than the antipsychotics and also I feel that there is less stigma---even my pdoc described the epilepsy as being more real---what you see/hear because they are actual electrical impulses in your brain. So maybe this will end up being better?
