Pdoc lowered doses and now I have voices

From 60mg zyprexa to 40mg
And haldol from 60mg to 50mg.
I have random funny voices and running commentary

Om_Sadasiva · May 18, 2019, 9:36am

I can live with voices. I worry about my physical health with all these pills

anon47167357 · May 18, 2019, 9:38am

Did they kick in straight away? I wonder if my voices would come back if I lowered meds

Om_Sadasiva · May 18, 2019, 9:39am

After a day, they returned. They are mild.
Don’t lower your dose, if you wanna stay without voices

Have you tried Clozapine? Might be a better solution than high doses of others?

anon47167357 · May 18, 2019, 9:41am

I took 30mg of olanzapine once at the start when my voices were loud and it lowered their tone ever so slightly.

Om_Sadasiva · May 18, 2019, 9:42am

No, I will ask my pdoc for clozapine.
I already texted him. I will talk to him in a few days, at our appointment

Om_Sadasiva · May 18, 2019, 9:42am

Yes, they are not so loud. They don’t bother me. I’m fine

anon47167357 · May 18, 2019, 9:52am

Even if I stopped my risperidone and the voices came back I still wouldn’t believe I have sz

Om_Sadasiva · May 18, 2019, 9:53am

You are in denial? You don’t believe you are ill?

anon47167357 · May 18, 2019, 9:56am

I could accept I am I’ll if it wasn’t so real. I heard ‘owens’ voice telling me to go on the run one day but I couldn’t, on my way back I meet him in his car gesturing at me like ‘why didn’t you go on the run’ similarly when I escaped hospital and went to London I met IRA walking past me. The same people three or four times. I went down an alley way and they followed me. I was hearing voices while I was over the

Om_Sadasiva · May 18, 2019, 10:01am

You are ill. Trust me. How many weeks you are voices free?

anon47167357 · May 18, 2019, 10:05am

Thank you I hope I am too.I think it’s 16 weeks I said if I get the summer off I’ll start to believe my meds are the reason I am voice free

Om_Sadasiva · May 18, 2019, 10:06am

I think you’ll be fine. I have an unhealthy relationship with my voices. I am dependent and attached to them.
They are my only company

anon47167357 · May 18, 2019, 10:08am

It’s such a different experience having nice voices,

Om_Sadasiva · May 18, 2019, 10:08am

It’s sad, isn’t it? To have voices as friends

anon47167357 · May 18, 2019, 10:08am

Not sad I think your making the best out of a bad situation

Om_Sadasiva · May 18, 2019, 10:09am

Yes, maybe. I can’t avoid them, so I relax and enjoy them.

The doctors will tell you to just ignore them but it’s nearly impossible
