Now that I think about it, I didn't really have frequent clear hallucinations until I started taking Abilify, the first antipsychotic I tried. I had other psychotic symptoms, but not hallucinations.
Does anyone know if it is possible for antipsychotics to cause hallucinations? I don't think I'll go off the zyprexa, even if it is causing me to hallucinate, because it is so effective against depression and I find depression much more distressing than the hallucinations. I am merely curious.

Id like to chime in with seroquel aswell. I dont think its as much psychosis but some have being implicated with causing mania. I am on seroquel and there was 2 weeks after starting the drug that i felt sensitised to my environment. I had to be careful but after 2 weeks it all settled down.
