I think I need to try a new medication because I still hear voices all day long in my head. One of the voices in my head says that I don’t have Schizophrenia. He says I just have demons. So I don’t know what to do. I’ve even tried exorcisms before.
I’ve tried Geodon, Rexulti, Zyprexa, Clozaryl, Haldol, Abilify, and Risperdal. Clozaryl has been the best so far. I still hear that nasty voice in my head all day long even with the Clozaryl.
You could talk to your doctor about adding another antipsychotic to clozaril maybe ?
I’m taking Haldol with it, but I’m not sure it’s doing anything. Maybe I’ll try a different antipsychotic with those two or substitute one for Haldol.
I’ve tried going off the Clozaryl before and it’s usually a nightmare. I’ve heard that it is very hard to get off of Clozaryl.
If you don’t feel haldol is doing anything then it might be worthwhile substituting it for something else.
Clozaril and haldol are 2 heavy hitters though. I’m sorry you’re still suffering.
Clozapine gives me dissent life,except voices of religious meter and ocd.
Is not the voices by itself, it is what you think the voices are, they have no power over you, you should think about voices as random noises. Once I was having a problem with a computer, the voices told me “say please, and we are going to solve it” I said please, and my computer solved its problem in that moment, a problem that lasted about 10 minutes. It was weird, but that happened, and I just ignore it, see? Its not the big deal
It’s good to try some different med combos but if you’re treatment refractory as many people are, there are sometimes symptoms that never go away. Different cognitive-behavioral therapies can help you deal with those sometimes. I use DBT skills to help me not hurt myself when the voices tell me to…
I’ve had limited relief of the actual voices too. One thing I’ve learned is not to give them respect. They’re douchebags and not even real douchebags. Mine accuse me of the worst perversions daily and I mostly don’t care.
Yeah my voices accuse me of a lot of stuff too.
