My fiancée, a 24-year-old female, has a history of severe paranoia, anxiety, and depression, and is showing psychotic symptoms potentially matching schizophrenia. Recently, she has been experiencing phantom smells and tastes, described as burnt ramen noodle soup, which occur intermittently throughout the day. She is also experiencing the same taste in her mouth and throat. She takes quintapin to sleep at night, and her PCP advised her to take half of the pill in the afternoon, which reduced the scents and tastes by about 90% for a couple of hours. She is very scared that she may have a brain tumor, seizures, or something else. What could be causing this, and how can we manage these phantom smells and tastes?
