hallucinations under stress

ok thank you

Perhaps you could research the side-effects of your medication, perhaps certain medications mixed increase side-effects too.

Here is an article on how stress effects psychosis:

As you will know, hallucinsations are part of psychosis.

thanks for the info very kind of you

im in between meds at the moment, i also suffer psychosis but the hallucinations im talking about are brought on by stress. gp has just tried me on pregabalin but the side effects are horrendous so hopefully be trying something else.

Are you on any medication?  Some meds can cause hallucinations.

"The superficial similarities between some of the signs and consequences of sperger’s syndrome and schizophrenia do not imply that someone with Asperger’s syndrome is ‘immune’ from schizophrenia. There are people with Asperger’s syndrome who develop the unequivocal signs of schizophrenia (Ghaziuddin 2005a; Stahlberg et al. 2004). However, Asperger noted that only one of his 200 cases developed clear signs of schizophrenia (Wolff 1995). We have yet to establish the actual co-morbidity of Asperger’s syndrome and schizophrenia, but at present there is no evidence in the research literature that schizophrenia is any more common in people with Asperger’s syndrome than it is in the general population (Tantam 2000).

Clinicians recognize that severe depression and other mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and anxiety disorders can sometimes lead to psychotic features and mood congruent delusions (Ghaziuddin 2005a). In particular, a person with severe depression may develop auditory hallucinations that are related to the depression, for example voices telling the person to kill himself, but there can be a qualitative difference from the voices associated with schizophrenia. In psychotic depression the voices often talk to the person directly, whereas in schizophrenia the voices usually talk about the person(Ghaziuddin 2005a)."

I haven't heard of this before and I haven't had it myself.  I will do some research.
