I think Anna Laura gave you excellent advice, I, too, have experienced hallucinations and been aware that's what they were. My questions to you are- have you been completely honest with your psychiatrist? If not, just printing out this post and handing it to him/her would really help. Once medical causes were ruled out in my case (brain tumor, epilepsy- actually that's an ongoing one for me, and other conditions that can cause hallucinations) than the proper medication needs to be given (and an AD is not the right one). I've been helped by 2 of the atypical AP's- risperdal and zyprexa, but there are others that may be helpful to you. You sound miserable, and there is no reason for you to continue to feel so bad. I wish you all the best- judy
