In reply to risperdal and weird smells, posted by wishingstar on June 17, 2008, at 18:15:28
It makes sense to me. I had the smell of burning candle wax after I did ECT. I was also taking seroquel to help me sleep at night. I wonder if it was the seroquel. So, no it does not sound strange to me. It usually means something organic and not psychological like auditory hallucinations. I thought I would go nuts with the olfactory hallucinations as I referred to them as. It could also be seizures, however, as my neurologist thought this. So, far they are gone now after I started taking Neurontin again and then off of Neurontin and no bad smells. MRI showed nothing remarkable as the other possibility they thought was a tumor. I am wondering now if it was the meds. I hope you and your doctor check it out. It can make you feel like you want to scream.
