Yes, being full-blown manic (as apposed to hypomanic, which is just below full-blown mania) you will hallucinate. I am "classic Bipolar 1" and I've been full-blown manic only once, thank God no more than that. I'm sorry you're going through this, but mood stabilizers and antipsychotic medication can totally cut through the delusions and suicidal thoughts and paranoia and hallucinations, it just takes some time depending on how bad you have gotten. You will get better. You said in another post you're on Zyprexa. It is a miracle worker for this kind of thing! Please keep us updated as you pull through this.
