[QUOTE="buddy, post: 466128, member: 12886"] I dont have any experience with a child having psychotic illness, but I do have a child who has had visual disturbance...for him it was derealization/depersonalization. It was treated as anxiety related for years but ended up being temporal lobe seizures (lt side tends to affect visual things more they said, but his start on rt. and spread left). They feel his high dose of concerta (any medications in this class would do this) can be contributing either by causing it or by lowering the seizure threshold. temporal lobe seizures are notoriously hard to manage, but for mine lyrica has helped a lot. he rarely complains of "feeling fake" and says head aches are gone. I know we have all heard of other medications causing hallucinations too. Is this an ongoing thing you have already been working on? have I heard right that visual hallucinations tend to be more from neurological disturbance than auditory which can be related to psychosis more (I know, they are all "neurological" in terms of in the brain, but I mean structural issues, seizures, certain diseases, etc.)? Just wondering. [/QUOTE]
