I think I had my first visual hallucination after 2 years, after waking up

Today I woke up and saw for like 2 seconds a black thing climbing my door.

I just reduced my dose from 75 to 50mg/month.

I’m not on psychosis at all, I don’t have any symptoms.

It scared the s,hit out of me.

Is this possible?

Maybe it’s related to the pizza I ate yesterday (I was on a no-carb diet)?

Do they scare you everytime or you get used to them and don’t mind?

Happens to me all the time. You’ll get used to it.

What happens if it happens when you’re driving?

I see a lot of things that I’ve seen for so long that they’re a part of my everyday life. Rarely when I’m driving I have to think quickly when something moves in front of my car, but that’s extremely rare. Because I see angels and demons, they’re unlikely to be jumping in front of my car. My mind has to reason quickly and it’s very practiced at sorting so it does. The bugs are the only things that can still throw me I’m guessing because they’re physically really here.

Maybe you were still half asleep when you saw this?

Experiencing a Hallucination upon awakening from sleep is called a Hypnopompic Hallucination, and this is quite “Normal”.

Many Neurotypical people experience these kind of Hallucinations.

I would not worry about it too much for now.

Thanks!

Thats the kind of info I was looking for.

Maybe I should have googled it first.

i see shadow people often but I am getting use to it unless the shadow people are acting suspicious.

I agree with Wave, I have also been psychosis free for months now but still hallucinate when very sleepy - my doctor said not to worry about it

Before meds things were scary, now (on meds) its rare that I get scared but upon waking I often am in a hazy, sensitive state that seems to burn off in about an hour or two.

Hynopompic hallucinations are very common, especially if you’re susceptible to that sort of thing. You’re a lot less likely to hallucinate when you’re fully awake and focused, stable on meds, etc. Transition from sleep can cause hallucinations even in normal people, I wouldn’t be too concerned unless it happens during the day.
