I have predominantly auditory hallucinations when psychotic. Safe for the first couple of days in my first psychosis, I never confused them for sense impressions in that or subsequent episodes. I am well aware that covering my ears will not change a bit and that other people cannot hear them.

I had all but not at the same time.

Heya tuna!
My most common are voices and simple visual. Auditory like the dead and angels, simple visual like the walls breathing and the floor moving.
When I go farther down the rabbit hole, all bets are off. I’ve tasted poisonous food, rotting, rancid, when the meal was fine. I’ve smelt ghost, perfume and more rot. It’s about this time when I start getting complex visuals. Actually seeing people and angels, shadow people spirits.
Touch, I only have one. But it’s been lasting since I was a teen, I can only describe it as missing limb syndrome. My wings…I can feel them still, full and soft, delicate enough to cut diamond, white and shining…
.
All depends on how I’m doing. Day to day.
Wishing you well! I hope that helps you some.

None of the above, but I had severe DP/DR…felt like opposite of hallucinations, but some docs think its a positive or negative symptom from whatever.

I only saw and heard things. To be honest I was too out of my mind to notice anything like touch, taste or smell - so I can’t comment as I have no idea on those.

Hope the Zyprexa has been helping quell these hallucinations for you.
Take care!

They have, 5mg in the morning, 10mg at night, with a 5mg PRN for aggravations in symptoms. Took almost 2 1/2 years but I think I found my lifetime med regiment. Feeling stable.
Keep safe Tuna! Good to hear from you.
