I hear them every day but they are kind and supportive. No commands or insults. Still distracting though.

I’ll always be a little bit jealous of the schizophrenics who have never hallucinated.

Mine creep in when im tired or stressed. Usually condescending. Not overly nasty - but when your in bed and trying to sleep, they do wind me up - so i have ambeint sounds playing at night off an echo.

I hear them occasionally but mostly when I’m really stressed. They can come any time though. But they’re worse off meds.

Still interested in hearing from more people about this…

My voices are reduced by 90% with meds. Sometimes I still hear someone call my name or the door bell ringing and no one is there.

Great to hear there is such a significant reduction, Aziz. Now if only there was more that could be done for negative symptoms (a dream, I know).

I have a second train of thought. It is not something I hear.

Do you feel in control of the second train of thought or does it do its own thing?

Has the same characteristics as voices.

I only hear mine every now and then. But I can ignore them. They don’t really get in the way.

Great to hear that voices are mild and can be ignored. I don’t hear any currently but I feel like I come close…

The last time I heard a voice was three or four years ago when I was on Risperidone. My pdoc upped the dose from 4mg to 5mg, and the voice went away.

Right now I occasionally hear knocking at my door, but nobody is there when I open it.

I hear voices everyday, countless times. On the other meds, that I was on, too. Now on 4 mg of risperidone and 150 mg of xeplion. I know the thing where the door bells and nobody is there.

Do the meds do anything to help you? I’m sorry to hear you go through so much every day.

The meds keep me away from getting psychotic. I still suffer from a lot of delusions around the day.

I’m glad they are at least helping prevent psychosis but it sounds like you are still having a really hard time.

I live in a lot of comfort. So there is kind of a balance. It’s still a struggle though.

It sounds like a struggle, despite the comfort. Hang in there
