hallucinations...

[sawabears]

i just had the worst scare of my life.. and i'm just wondering if anyone else has ever had hallucinations? seems like i've been having alot lately and are getting worst.
i stopped taking my seroquel months and months ago, due too my heart disease. (just thought it was to risky) so, i know its not from my meds.. just wondering if anyone else has ever had any?
i've been diagnosed with bipolar1 years ago and i didn't think you could have hallucinations?

There are like three different voices in my head constantly arguing.  Sometimes they get kinda annoying. But srry no hallucinations..

   You'd have to find out the specifics of your diagnosis as hallucinations can occur in bipolar with psychotic features (and schizoaffective disorder such as I have) and there are many subtypes of bipolar and hallucinations and psychosis can occur in some. If you have concerns about the side effects of Seroquel it would be essential to speak to your psychiatrist and discuss what other medication might not be unsafe to take as regards heart disease. The specifics of each medication and their short term and long term side effect profile including the rare potential of some antipsychotics to cause cardiac arrythmias are listed on the medication website and this could be discussed with a psychiatrist or any doctor and they could see which medication would be safe for you to take.
