Loud voices

My doctor recently cut my antipsychotic dose due to side effects and now the voices are extremely loud and the suicidal/homicidal thoughts have gotten worse. I called my nurse line last week but never heard back. I don’t know what to do but I can’t live like this. I don’t know if I should go to the hospital or just wait but I’m afraid of what might happen…but I’m also afraid of the hospital. Typically they are very rude and mess with all my medications…maybe it will be worth it. I don’t know what to do and I don’t have anyone to talk about it with. Does anyone have words of wisdom they are willing to share? I’m in a dark confusing place and the voices are making it very difficult to do anything…it’s just very overwhelming.

Thank you

I was recently switched from geodon to Vraylar. They started me at 1.5mg but it gave me horrible sideeffects so for a week I have taken have the capsule. That’s when the voices started to get louder

Maybe you are not on a therapeutic dose. I know side effects can be bad though.

@Fallen.Angel If you’re having suicidal/homicidal thoughts and you’re afraid of what might happen, I really think you should go to the hospital. It’s the safest place for you and hopefully they can help sort out your meds and get your symptoms under better control.

Definitely get yourself to a hospital. They’ll be able to help you get on a therapeutic dose of something that will work for you and keep you safe.

I was just on vraylar and it hasnt helped with the voices or the visual hallucinations either… i am on abilify now but have only been taking a week or so… THe voices get so loud i cant here anyone speak its just everyone talking at once loudly and its chaotic… other times they are more audible. I hate hosptals too tho they want me to go dure to the fact i am still seeing things and ppl and feeling them and hearing them and other voices… but sometmes… a hospital is the only option they give us it seems
