Your current meds are no longer working. So you need to switch meds or change the dosage of the meds you’re on. That’s the conversation you need to have with your doctor.

I increased my meds and it didnt help. Ive always heard voices. I was thinking of trying mirtazapine to see if that makes the voices less persecutory

No point in staying on them then when there are others available that might stop the voices.
Did your voices just start recently? If so, is it possible they messed up your last injection?

I think someone put lysol in my last injection. Ive tried other meds before and this was the best one Ive taken for voices and paranoia. I took another clonazepam today even though I took one on saturday ( hopefully I dont get addicted ) but I am just going ballistic right now.
That’s a paranoid delusion. That didn’t happen.
It looks like your meds have stopped working for you. That happens unfortunately.
I hope your doctor comes up with a plan tomorrow.
Best of luck with your appointment.

It won’t be hard to switch to another medicine.
They “cross taper”. They slowly lower the one you’re coming off and slowly increase the one your going onto.
I’ve gone through that process myself.

I’m on Vraylar and olanzapine and I still hear voices. I try to ignore the voices and live my life the best I can.

I have some nasty voices that I think people can hear or think it’s directed at them and gives me crazy anxiety. Treating the anxiety response has been more successful than getting rid of the voices.

That’s a pity.
Cobenfy doesn’t improve things as an add on medication.
