Adderall Hallucinations

Updated

Hi - our 14 year old daughter has been on prescribed adderall and Zoloft for about 2 years for ADD-inattentive and an anxiety disorder. We just found out that she has been experiencing visual and auditory hallucinations for the past 3-5 months. They're low level, and she describes them as annoying. She hears conversations in the background that are low volume and impossible to distinguish words. The voices don't tell her to do anything, and are not conversational - just background noise. She sees insects crawling down her papers at school and on walls and celings. She describes it as distracting and annoying. She's not frightened by it, and doesn't find the hallucinations engaging. We are of course, fairly terrified by this! We are aware that mid adolescence is when mental health disorders can start to emerge. We have an appt. with her psychiatrist for an assessment. As she has NO other symptoms of psychosis, we started to do more research in to adderall and discovered the link with hallucinations. And anxiety can also of course, contribute. Has anyone on the forum experienced similar phenomena? If so - I'm very interested in hearing from you! Thanks! Beth
