I am not sure whether I do or not, as I’m not sure what hearing voices is really like on average with this stuff. I get audio disturbances and hear other things but most of the voices come from “inside of my head” and I don’t know if that “counts”…is it at all similar for you?

Going off meds spells trouble for me. Voices don’t knock at the door and politely ask if they may speak. That would be great. Instead, I gradually lose control of my mental activity, thoughts become twisted and hard to put a stop to. When voices finally appear, I’m already in a weakened state and they forcefully make me think or say degrading stuff. By that point I find it almost impossible to function, all my focus being shifted inwards. It’s cruel.

I occassionaly hallucinate but no voices for me. I kinda have a similar thing with a central thought that comments on what I do although the meds have helped that. Dx paranoid sz.

I always hear voices, but they became manageable. It took a while to settle in the voices, i do also hallucinate, but nothing too bad.

Always hear voices, no matter the drug. CBD made everything far away and like you were protected from them.

I had voices 24/7 torturing me emotionally for about eight years.and it impacted my body because I was always tense and feeling horrible and couldn’t relax.

Thankfully they went away.

I don’t know what made them go away but strangely enough it was when I came off medications.

I was without medication a couple years or so then I got delusions and stopped eating and drinking and was hospitalised.
The voices didn’t come back thankfully.

Thankfully i don’t have voices now.
I’m on latuda which helped my delusions.

I have these constant voices in my head like my inner voice, but they seem to come from somewhere else. My therapist told me that these are indeed voices. But sometimes I get auditory sensations during the day that no one else hears including some voices.

My voices I had sounded like they came from “outside “ like another room or outside apartment or from “the sky”.

Like i could hear family etc talking and saying hurtful agonising things.
And gunshots and moans .

I hated the moans.

I don’t even have a sz dx but when I’m off meds, I used to hear voices.

The last time though, it wasn’t voices but it’s like I could hear someone’s thoughts in my own mind.
