It seems every time I talk to somebody on my mental health team they make the assumption I hallucinate. I’ve never hallucinated in my life. I swear it’s a racket lol Do they know something I don’t?
Aren’t people who hallucinate aware at some level?
Maybe they’re the one who are hallucinating?
I know I’m not hallucinating.
What did they tell you exactly?
They just ask me how my hallucinations are every time. I don’t hallucinate.
Voices are auditory hallucinations. I’d have a hard time finding a schizophrenic who’s never heard voices.
I’ve never heard voices.

Maybe there’s some form of sz without voices.
So what are your symptoms then? Paranoia, strange obsessive thoughts?
I hallucinate and I am very aware of it.
I don’t have voices, never

You two are very lucky. Voices can bring down even the toughest minds.
According to Dr Cooper who retired not all schizophrenics hear voices. I did though. I just heard one in the hallway coming back from checking the mail. They are infrequent with the Abilify I’m taking.

I take abilify too. No voices anymore. But man, I’ve heard enough of them to know what they’re capable of.

I switched to Abilify last May. At first I was taking 5mg and started hallucinating pretty good. My pdoc upped it to 10mg, and I’m mostly not hallucinating. I was on 10mg Zyprexa. Back when I got out of the hospital in 2008, I was taking 20mg Zyprexa, so my dosage is down.
Is zyprexa olanzapine? I’ve read some bad reviews. Massive weight gain and possibly heart problems.
I don’t think i am lucky. I have visual hallucinations
I’ve had a few visuals too. There is an ocean of difference. Voices are very hurtful.
I had voices just once, but i think visual are worse
But everyone can think what they want to
