Hearing subtle voices

Since lowering my Risperdal dose down to 3mg more than a month ago I’ve been doing well.
Except that I am quicker to get irritable or snap when I’m stressed.
But recently, for a few days now I’m starting to hear things like different sounds.
It’s not that big of a deal as the “voices” are far away and subtle.

Things like my father calling out my name, far away laughter or screams.
Other sounds as well.

Im also experiencing some visual weirdness like seeing my cat from the corner of my eye then disappearing

These hallucinations usually occur when I’m close to taking my second night time dose or when I’m stressed out.

I may mention it to my doctor when I see her in October

Hearing things can be normal on occasion in most people. I have the same kinda thing you do. Seeing faces in things is one of them.

To be honest I think that I may be able to manage these minor hallucinations but if things get worse then I’ll consider going back up to 4mg

They are not constant

If I could go without that by taking more I would but that’s just me. Maybe the higher dose gives you other problems

I don’t know @anon83704208
I got super paranoid and angry when this contractor stopped by our house.
When he left I thought he was going to come back to murder us!
I don’t think the lower dose is working out too well.
I may go back up to 4mg after all
I’m always snapping at my father and losing my temper
And now the paranoia is settling in
I’ll take a poll in another thread
