Hallucination Discussion

Good Evening Sirs and Madames,



Let's cut to the chase here actually, no more funny business.

I wanted to start a thread about hallucinations right now because I am having them, right now.

I wanted to share the type of hallucination I'm having, the medications I'm taking, the dosages, and what I am "officially" diagnosed with to see if it is normal or not to have them.

--I hope you would do the same to help the train going and give some insight.

Here we go!

I'm a 19 year old female and I'm officially diagnosed with: Celiac disease, Gastroparesis, Bipolar disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, and ADD.

Medications
  • Birth Control 1x at morning
    For obvious reasons
    20mg Priolsec 1x at morning
    Helps with my Celiac
    40mg Protonix 1x at night
    Helps with my Gastroparesis
    300mg Trileptal 2x a day
    Used to help stabilize my mood
    150mg Luvox 2x a day
    Anti-depressant
    100mg Wellbutrin 2x a day
    Anti-depressant
    20mg Geodon 2x a day
    Atypical antipsychotic
    50mg Lamictal 2x a day
    Mood Stabilizer
    70mg Vyvanse 1x in morning
    For A.D.D.
    30mg Adderall at 4pm
    For when my Vyvanse wears off



and finally!

The type of hallucination i'm extremely having right now is a tactile hallucination. I feel like things are landing on my skin, sometimes they move, sometimes they don't. When it feels like they're moving I immediately check to see what it is.

NOTHING IS THERE.

What also doesn't help the fact of my situation is that I would say i'm definitely on the manic side at this point.

So any suggestions, words of advice, comments, or experiences of you're own you are willing to share?

i get those tactile halucinations but my anti pyscchotic medication helps,im diagnosed with pyschosis,i woud actualy be diagnosed with schizophrenia but my other labels woudnt allow it for some reason.

just a thought but coud it be one of your medications causing the halucination?

Every now and then I feel like something is crawling on my scalp. I touch it, nothing is there, it keeps happening. Is this what your talking about? I thought it was a tingly scalp thing. I've never heard of tactile hallucinations, so please forgive me.

Tactile is the worst! I would choose auditory, olfactory or visual over those any day.

Could be because you're manic, or could be a med reaction if anything was added recently.

Like MM says, a hot shower is the best relief.

Thank God I haven't had those for a while, makes my skin crawl!!!

Hallucinations are common with many people even those without any sort of psychiatric disorder. As long as it's not interfering with your life and your day to day functioning I wouldn't worry about it. I get tactile hallucinations from time to time; when it happens I always get a fright haha. Also occasionally visual ones in my peripherals or I see bugs crawling on me (this has only ever happened in therapy for some reason! And if I'm being honest I'm not sure if it is real or not gah). But I've never been too bothered by them.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
