I know this guy that's on at the moment is just going to force medication down my throat and give out to me for not following along with the "plan"! So I'll wait a couple of weeks. I'm hoping these two incidents where isolated and won't happen again, I've been feeling better anyway in a sense that I'm not confused and thinking mad crazy reasons as to why I had those visions.
My nurse also said it could have been caused by the fact I'm not really sleeping and haven't been for a good few weeks. I don't feel the need to sleep and my mood is so good I don't want to change it so I'm not going to force myself.
I'm still going to push for an MRI or an EEG just to be sure.

If mania gets taken to an extreme, it can become psychotic mania. Also, not sleeping enough can cause psychotic symptoms in and of itself. Back when I had akathisia in early 2013 I was hallucinating like mad (I was having a bunch of visual hallucinations, it was really strange because normally I almost NEVER have distinct visuals) because I hadn't slept more than an hour or two a night for over two weeks until I finally just took myself off of that **** medication that was causing it. Not fun!
Whatever is going on, I wish you the best of luck in resolving it all; and all I'm doing posting here is just theorizing on what
could be the problem. I'm not a professional of course I'm just a lady with Schizophrenia, I am just sharing my thoughts and/or personal experience.
