I can’t tell if I’m hallucinating or if I’m just getting weird sensations for some other reason. I keep feeling bugs crawling on me, sharp pains like if someone were to cut me how it hurts then gets hot, and twice now I’ve thought my husband bumped into me on purpose only to turn around to get angry at him and he’s not even next to me.
I feel like I’m doing pretty well other than these things, and usually tactile hallucinations are one of the first to go and last come back when I up my meds, so it seems unlikely. But what else could it be? I feel like I’m going crazy feeling these things.
I mean, the place is a mess because we’re in the middle of moving and clutter makes me stressed. And we don’t have the security cameras set up yet so I’m pretty much always anxious that someone is going to come murder us or kidnap my daughter and there’s going to be no video and Mr LED will have no idea what happened.
But, typically, voices come back first. So this is just unusual. I can take some extra haldol tonight and see if it helps. I’m just not convinced it’s not something else. Like, maybe it’s something neurological?
Definitely sounds like you might be hallucinating. Tactile hallucinations would kill me. I can’t stand being touched by unknown things. Hope you feel better!
I just got my shot Monday, so it should be in my system by now. And I’ve been taking the same dose of oral for a couple weeks now. My sleep has been kind of ■■■■, but I’ve been taking Klonopin so I’ve actually been getting more sleep than normal, though only by an hour or so.
I want to say that you know yourself best, and that if you’re worried, you should see a doctor.
But another part of me wants to say that a hallucination is a hallucination. Even though the voices usually come first, maybe the tactiles just came first this time. Or maybe the new medicines are working on the part of your brain that makes voices, but not the part that makes tactile hallucinations?
I hope youre okay @LED. It sounds like schizophrenia to me. Try to calm yourself down. Hopefully the paranoia and hallucinations will go away. If not, like @Berru said, call your doctor. It may be as simple as them advising you to take more medication.
I have extra haldol I can take PRN. My oral dose is all up to me, I’ve just been at 10 mg for a few weeks now. I can take up to 20 mg a day, but I never go up that high because then I’m a drooling zombie.
I already took an extra 5 mg. Hopefully it’ll help.
I read that insecticides can cause peripheral neuropathy. Maybe it’s that. A symptom, besides the stabbing pain and crawling feelings, is instability and falling. That could explain my weird wobbly feeling I had yesterday, or the day before, I’m having a hard time remembering days.
Maybe when they treated our carpets Monday they used the wrong stuff and it’s poisoning me. I’m sure they’d never admit it. They’ll all just say I’m crazy.
It’s 8:30 on a Saturday night and I can’t afford emergency care. I’m stuck speculating until at least Monday, but my pdoc isn’t in until Tuesday. So it depends what happens tomorrow if I believe it’s mental or physical.
I already have a few different physical pain disorders, so it makes me really not sure. For all I know it could be one if those acting up in a new way.
Or maybe I’m just crazy and the extra haldol will help.
