What Causes Hallucinations And Suspicious Behavior?

I have a friend that had a psychiatric diagnosis of schizoid personality disorder she had been taking Resperdone for several years but always complained she would hear and see things...she was tapered off it over a period of 2 years after that she was prescribed lithium and she went off it and ended up in a mental hospital..she was re prescribed resperdone again and she is delusional and says there are bad spirits around her and is suspicious of everything I do when I visit her this sound like it's coming from Rx or is she schizophrenic?

In my opinion your friend is something more then just an schizoid personaliy disorder. As he has used Risperidon for 2 years and the symtoms are still the same I recomand the change of therapy under doctor supervision of course. Hope I have been helpful.
