I hear voices constantly and feel like someone is making me have sensations such as head pressures, itches, and other feelings. I frequently wake up feeling as if I am charged with electricity and cannot go back to sleep. The voices tell me they are controlling me with a brain chip. Has anyone else felt this feeling of control and recovered?

Have you been diagnosed with anything yet? With the pressure you’re describing, it could be tactile hallucinations, or it might be a physical problem. Have you had an MRI done yet to rule out physical causes?
Either way, it is definitely not a chip in your brain. As someone who has undergone brain surgery, let me assure you there is no possible way someone could have done that to you without your knowledge. When you cut into the brain, and it is exposed to oxygen, it swells. It no longer fits inside the skull, and it takes days for the swelling to go down. They have to leave a hole in your skull permanently to relieve the pressure. If you don’t have a large hole in your skull, you’ve never had brain surgery. I’m talking at least an inch in diameter.

Ninjastar - yes I have been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. It’s not so much that I think I have a brain chip in, but this is what the voices are saying. It’s more I can feel someone putting sensation into my body, moving my jaw, controlling me. Has anyone else had this feeling of control?

Yes. Delusions of being a Targeted Individual. X-Files type scenario. As well, I have a cardiac pacer implant that I have to keep reminding myself isn’t alien tech when I’m not doing well. I’m very high-functioning and work full-time, but some days are better than others.

Pixel - did meds help improve this? I’ve tried zyprexa which didn’t work but am trying seroquel now.
Calling you right now to tell you the chips not real
Yes. And CBT. And therapy. I had unhealthy habits where I automatically regarded the intrusive thoughts as real. I have retrained myself to automatically reject these thoughts as delusions. CBT is a system for building new habits of thinking and reacting:

Thanks did you have physical hallucinations that went away though?
Sort of. When I’m stressed I swear my pacemaker moves around and I can feel it inserting and withdrawing tendrils into my chest. Indescribably awful. And… not real. With practice, it’s like learning to ignore an itch. Focus on something else, some sort of learning project that takes most of your attention. The mental itch goes away when you’re occupied.

My delusion centers around brain control. I have had ‘them’ take over complete control of my thoughts and body. It is a terrifying and very real delusion to have. I suspect I have it worse than most. I had a suicide attempt while under this kind of ‘control’. I am more stable now on meds although still delusional. It’s been over a year since my suicide attempt and I have not been hospitalized since then either.
I have also had the feeling of them sending an electrical signal down my body. It was very real. That hasn’t happened in 2 years. My internal voice also tells me I am being controlled and monitored all the time. It is difficult to ignore. Some days are better than others. School helps a lot and I am able to focus on something else for awhile.
Meds and therapy is all I can say 
I hope you start to feel better! Good luck
Thanks - what meds are you on? I’m trying Clozaril and hoping it to go away completely.

It’s a delusion. It’s treatable. You haven’t been implanted. Please discuss this with your doctor.

I’m working up to a therapeutic dose of Clozaril and don’t have these thought anymore, although I do still have the hallucinations.
