Hi there ,

 

Welcome to Just answer !

 

Well, there are two things here , which could have lead to the start of hallucinations , first being the act that he has been subjected to sudden increase in work , which has brought with it , increased demand and stress , and these can aggravate and precipitate the symptoms of schizophrenia , which uptil now were kept under control .

 

Second possible reason for the hallucination can be the fact that he might have developed resisitance against the present dose of risperdal consta , and the dose needs to be revised by his psychiatrist

 

So, i suggest that you discuss these two possibilities with his doctor , that are , the work related stress which has been sudden with no gradual process of exposing him to increased work duration slowly and the fact that his present dose of risperdal may have become less effective , as this quite often happens in such cases of long term treatment with antipsychotics..

 

I hope this helps..

 

I wish you all the best..
