The visual hallucinations will go away with time and antipsychotic medication. I never had any visual or auditory hallucinations, but I had major delusions and depression and lack of motivation, etc. Please never go off your antipsychotic medications and I'm sure with time, you'll be so much better. I have heard that women have a lower chance of getting Schizophrenia than men. Ira Dear Ira, Schizophrenia strikes equally between men and women.
Men tend to get diagnosed with Schizophrenia earlier than women do.
Women also have a risk of developing a relapse during menopause when there is less estrogen to protect the woman. Estrogen seems to help in Schizophrenia. Take care and good luck. My doctor hasn't exactly said I am Schizophrenic, but he's had me take Olanzapine in the past. He never said they were antipsychotics.
