Ive been seeing someone standing there out of the corner of my eye but when i turn to look and see who it is no one is there. Is this a hallucination? Idk, if my eyes are playing tricks on me or if I am actually hallucinating again. I have started a new med called topomax and recently increased my zoloft from 50mg to 100mg. Im not sure. I also thought I saw my cat run across the floor but she was outside. Its weird....

I should add that usually when I hallucinate, it is about spiders or things that scare me. I get the taste of blood hallucinations and audible, but never any like this.

I will also see sometimes things out of the corner of my eye,,,,could be anything...a leaf blowing, a gust of wind...its nothing to worry about. I don't!

also I think its also about things we expect to see......our cat, etc.......we expect to see the cat because it lives with us.......some little trigger can cause us to look at a place and its not the cat but the breeze from the window, or something falling because the cat just was right there....

I think that seeing someone out of the corner of your eye and then no one is there is a normal thing. Maybe anxiety but I don't believe it's hallucinating. I do that all the time, I even startle and get a bolt of adrenaline when it happens... but i do not hallucinate. Hope this helps

Remeber when you were a kid and your eyes played tricks on you, especially in the dark... Shadows moving. I think it never fully goes away. Missbelle said stuff you expect to see, i think that sounds pretty right.

Maybe we are tired, eyes or mind is fatiqued and the messages get a little mixed up.

I think when you just have that "out of the corner of your eye" thing it's normal eyes playing tricks. Even the cat running by. I have that one, too. I asked my psychologist about it quite a while back when I still had her, because it bothered me. Visual hallucinations are more full on, I guess. Like the 'man' figure I see is not out of the corner of my eye, he's always right in front of me. Sometimes just a shadow, sometimes in full color... scares the crap out of me.

But, you know, as always anything that is really bothering you should ask your doctor about.

Thanks everyone I was getting worried because it seems to have just been here lately in the past couple of days. Oh well no biggie.
