Hi there. I am a girl with Autism Spectrum Disorder, OCD, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, clinical depression, insomnia, and an assumed personality disorder (I am under 18 so I wasn't fully diagnosed -- I have intense abandonment and jealousy issues). I take Zoloft 100 mg every day and have been for about two years along with Trazodone 25 mg for insomnia. Zoloft works very very well for me. My question is about hallucinations. I remember having visual and auditory hallucinations as a child, but it never really bothered me. Just recently I think I've been having auditory ones and it's scaring me. It's to the point where I don't know if some sounds are real or not. It only happened a few times and isn't going on constantly. I've heard my name being whispered very loudly when I was at the gym with my mom, and asked her if she said my name, but she hadn't and she was across the entire room. Last night I was in the bathtub pretty late at night and had my ears submerged when I heard "Mom!" very loudly. It wasn't distorted or anything like it would be underwater if it was real. I checked to see if everyone was asleep and they were. Some other hallucinations have just been sounds that aren't there, like an alarm clock going off for example in the middle of the night. I also have been having trouble organizing my thoughts and have been stuttering or tripping up on my words as a result, as well as a lot of trouble making decisions (even really small ones) and I've been having more memory problems than usual. I don't know what's happening to me! My family has a history of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression. I won't be seeing my therapist for another three weeks but she's not a psychiatrist, so I don't know what to do. Thanks for reading.

Hello manda: I'm sorry you're having these unsettling experiences. I cannot address your concerns. My recommendation would be to either re-contact your therapist sooner than your next appointment, or perhaps consider getting in to discuss what you're experiencing with a psychiatrist. That is, from my perspective, the best way to get an accurate appraisal with regard to what's going on with you.

Tell your Doctor, it might be the medications.

Since you are under 18 I would talk to your parents about what is going on. They will be able to help you get in contact with your therapist and/or your psychiatrist. It sounds like this is very frightening. I am sorry you are going through this. You will need to reach out IRL to get the help you need with this new concern.
