I don’t know why I’m having these scary visual-spatial hallucinations. I did a lot of drugs when I was younger but I can’t imagine that’s catching up with me. Ultimately the hallucinations boil down to perception but why is my perception changing at inopportune times? It’s really putting a cramp in my style. I’ve been on Risperdal for a long time to moderate my symptoms and it seems to be working, but what’s with the scary hallucinations? I’ve noticed an increase in visual artifacts during my day and on my computers during this time. Also burping and incontinence. Strange associations and very negative thinking. Also, I’m very tired…I’m tired when my medicine is supposedly insulating me from things and it’s not. I’m tired from trying to work when I’m disabled and incompetent. I’m tired when my body doesn’t function correctly and the only response I get is suggestions to go to medical school.
If you have recently lost a lot of weight, the drugs stored in your fat cells might be breaking down and releasing into your body. That happened to my brother after he lost about 20 lbs during basic training. Other than that, maybe your Risperidone is just becoming less effective? That’s happened to a few members here after they were on a med for a long time. You should try to make an appointment with your doctor to discuss these symptoms and see if he can find a cause or solution. The incontinence sends a message that this isn’t a strictly psychiatric problem. Maybe neurological or physical? But only a doctor would be able to know for sure.
Thanks for the response 
Track symptoms…Face it, tormenting women with lots of incontinence, menstrual issues, burping, IBS, angina, heart palpitations is just how this goes so sadly as is all bad joke. But track symptoms with your environment or actions…
Talking to self?
Ran into any problem people from your past lately?
Are you discussing something touchy with people?
Going to a certain place & you go symptomatic bad?
Ran into social situation with something wrong?
This can happen. Can reduce your physical problems if you can see a pattern and change behaviors. Some people leave if they keep running into same problem people & your symptoms change/worsen. If these people are old problem group that is resurfacing like seeing if you are interested in doing something unethical to serve their needs, could be cause of the increased visuals. Run across another group of people making slaves, or something wealthy person is doing that is wrong…Can all start problems but frequently paired with insomnia attack for me, even on ambien to show me I’ve ran across more ‘drama makers’ or just moved and now the town problems are saying hello & check me out for the initiation check to see how they can use me.
I TOTALLY gave up on business environment and social groups here as they all had someone wrong join and just attack people or worse, looking to use someone bad or make slaves to do favors. Went back to old friends on facebook that I knew were okay but some of the middle aged men here have snapped and will work over their own Mom, so quickly see who to avoid if they are playing you, talking nuts or acting like kook now.
Another thing I ran across, local sex abuse group who gave lots of people a nervous to scare women, then try to use them. Symptoms can turn back on if they want something from you, usually stalking people but could be intercepted to be picked up and harmed or used to do something illegal so you will be compliant to do anything in future due to blackmail. Sadly, local politicians and cops covered this up as it is wealthy group and this stuff just happens, but at least you know who does this crap. You can leave the situation by NEVER talking to any of these group again, do nothing confrontational, no point to talking to cops as they ruin some & throw them out this group will give you such a hard time with vandalisms/trespass (or harmed). Do not talk aloud to self, do not follow orders from voices, stay away from these folks, make no contact and symptoms may be better in 2-3 years sometimes. Other groups like this will stalk people, must just say ‘no thank you’ or ‘we are good’ and avoid them. Cannot discuss this much unless you need to get a verbal attackers to leave you alone at work – some from the church who are lied to in order to make them stalk you & verbally harass or worse someone on disability pay following mental care – thought broadcasting is technical term. Can tell some people you just ran across something wrong lately but if this happens to you at a job, better to ask for accommodations to work from home but some people only hear it for a short time at work and it quits. At work someone may tell you what is making them symptomatic and could be just because you are single and female, you are so lucky if no one attacks to try to get relationship from you…Some places have HORRIBLE sex harassment & work scams with no unemployment or move and get ruined, used for prostitute in some places…Seriously, would only consider moving if you knew locals or you are moving with someone else even if it is just roommate.
Bad news, some cities will make victims of schizo worse over time. You can try to blame some of the physical stuff on maybe being a little too overweight. Some DRs advise woman does not have enough muscle in the abs and this causes urine leakage, especially if overweight. Kind of causes back strain when abs are weak & you get incontinence. Or you are trying to do something strenuous and leak.
Sometimes you may be in a job where you would be big help in screwing people. You can even have customers come into the office to mess you up…So if you are working in a job & having more visuals, someone may be thinking about using you for something at this job or try to get dates. Some people change work after schizo attack to less stress and fewer problems job or something in the back if you are getting verbally harassed by strangers/coocoo customer at work…Try to use the college and you may find really bad discrimination practices now, just warned do not answer any of the verbal attacks or sex harassment and can be treated better. May need to file some paperwork from pdoc with disability services if you cannot just tell the professor you have a mental health diagnosis. You will need administrators to mediate the situation with this instructor and monitor his problems can happen. (Can be very helpful to just do online study or get the book/tutorials for whatever employment may suit you better & you won’t be bugged to screw with customers or coworkers.)
You can keep asking the voices what is causing this change in symptoms.
You can be told you need to go to church and sent somewhere like anti-christ church where you will be demanded to do unethical stuff, harm customers/coworkers/family even and be threatened, maybe stolen from if they get a check from you to tithe or get your house keys. Some need a restraining order to leave these church recommendations but may get you threatened bad to do this, these are always big churches trying to make dirty businessman a network of slaves so voices stop. You can try a church where you know a few people so seriously, someone has your back up…Traditional-denominational churches can be nice social group until you find out some of these people are so fake, they will screw you if you like use one to get your car repaired before you have been tested and they have you following orders from voices to do something or spending a lot of time toiling at the church/big tithe checks!
Some common visuals are blurry eyes from dry eyes. Try the eye drops or buy new glasses. I had this happen when moving to new city, found out later anyone hearing the voices as much as I do (all the time medicated for 12 years now) is usually forced into fast food/retail work and the blurry eyes moving there is hint you are in the wrong place…Lots of people go symptomatic around you there and you may come home to find a stranger in there who is ‘moving coordinator’. If calm, you will be okay but if you freak people get killed…City’s other choice is burn down the building with cooking fire during day when most are gone. Some places are an extreme in the poorer areas, but do happen in burbs too sometimes. I just got new glasses & called that the problem until I found out about ‘moving coordinator’ problems & more/more trouble with getting screwed by local’s scams, meant you need to move from there. Small towns are worse sometimes, they don’t have a lot of people to play with so can be VERY different planet in some places once the cops & courts are captured…
No offense but you sound more like a foreman…It sounds like you’ve had a lot of struggles…I’ve had a lot of struggles too…but what really bothers me is when there’s about a million nonsense problems that get in the way of my daily life…Like yesterday I got a sore on my leg, proceeded to pick at it, now I can’t get around without a lot of pain. Nonsense getting in the way of my daily life…a perfect example.
