Suggest treatment for hallucinations when diagnosed for psychosis
human
HiI have been diagnosed with psychosis and am on Haldol (fast acting) I tend to see images of people or characters when I close my eyes or see a blue sillouhette of a child or see 3d simulations of objects on the top right hand side of my vision. More recently however, I have started feeling a sensation on my forhead or bouts of pain around my eye region. What could this be?

Hi.I understand your concern.Hallucinations are part of psychotic illness and can be treated with anti psychotic medicines.Haldol is first generation anti psychotic and gold standard to treat psychotic illness.Machanism of action is slow and take time to achieve complete recovery.Add on another anti psychotic probably second generation is advisable for resistant cases of psychotic illness.Long term treatment compliance is must for better treatment.I hope I have answered your question. Thank you.Get well soon.
