Could be, but I mean symptoms only matter in how they affect treatment. With hallucinations, these days doctors usually use the newer antipsychotics. One of my former shrinks said that some forms of bipolar w/psychosis can be managed with depakote and no antipsychotic, but I'm not so sure she was correct about all that.

Are you on an antipsychotic/tranquilizer? They're not the best drugs ever, but if you need one, the newer ones are more tolerable than the old ones, and the tardive dyskinesia risk is supposed to be considerably lower.

Are you stressed out? Had any traumatic experiences? "Bipolar" people are still just that--people. there's a lot going on behind anybody's label, and its not all mania, depression, mixed episode, etc.

Do you have a therapist or counselor?
