Hallucinations while on meds? Bipolar

Hallucinations while on meds? Bipolar

Hi everyone,

Just want to ask a quick question (if anyone else has experienced this) -

I was out with friends on vacation the other day and I heard my name being called, mind you the place was loud and the voice was quite quiet, at a normal conversation volume. Next thing I hear my name being called again! This time it's one of my friends talking about me, so I asked him why he was, turns out it wasn't malicious.

As we're walking back to our room, I'm hearing conversation about me; "what the f**k is wrong with (me)" "What's his f*****g problem?". I didn't bother yelling at them because they would've denied it... I ended up taking a shower and was really twitchy (almost like Tic's - head shaking/snapping from side to side. I don't have Tourette's though)

I got out of the shower and started shaking/shivering - almost as if my body had adrenaline pumped through it, my brain was racing. I asked my friends if they were actually talking about me, as I was about to berate them - they said no.

I ended up taking my antipsychotic and was okay within the hour. Has anyone else had this? If so, is it the medication or is it just the illness? I haven't had it this bad in a while...

Psychiatrist has given me a 'fairly certain' diagnosis of BP. Will definitely bring this up with them next appointment

Hi Mjayy, I also have a similar condition to yours and am medicated for it.
