There are several things that you should be doing (at this point)
anytime you are hallucinating...there is a problem, you should notify your psychiatrist...*but* if she is only giving you ativan(?!) and sending you home and "...is not into discussing things like this..." ...it's time to ask a parent or a guardian to help you find a *competent* psychiatrist
If you aren't certain of your diagnosis (schizophrenia) then, why would you take the medication with out getting a second opinion?
There are a lot of good psychiatrists out there... the better docs are associated with major hospitals
Remember, you are entrusting someone with you mental health. You should have a relationship with your Pdoc. where s/he is willing to discuss anything, not just "prescribing drugs"
