Two of the voices are quiet. I was told by the nurse the peak time is 6 days after the injection and then after 3 of them so it maintains a Max effect. I’m scared what if the voices cease completely? What will I do with out them?

If your voices cease that’s awesome!
That’s the situation healthy people are in.
I’ve never heard voices. But I was aware of my own thoughts. Since going on meds my mind feels almost blank as I’m no longer aware of my own thoughts. It took a while to get used to.
i’m nervous about them being gone, the two that are gone now is devon who yells profanities at me and phillip who feeds my paranoia.i haven’t needed to take my Ativan since getting the injection but you never know that could just be temporary

You will enjoy love 
Try to return to a normal life some of us have
I’d be lost without mine as their part of me now.
But if I somehow made a miraculous recovery I’d celebrate, go skydiving and get laid without having to hide my condition.

Sadly I couldn’t handle them being gone. I felt very lonely and a lot of anger poured out of me and the voices spoke through me and probably scared the piss out of everyone. Technically the drug eventually stopped working and i had to live with the voices. I also was deflated from the experience and lost all interest in achieving anything and focused on just existing instead which often happens with relapses. The symptoms that I had when the voices left which were so objectionable to people around me are listed on a number of medicines with the suggestion to see a doctor immediately so I guess it was a bad drug. Since i can live with the voices now pretty much I will accept their reasoning. That won’t necessarily happen to you but if you’ve had the voices for a long time you are in for a big adjustment.
I feel the same way, Ive become one with most of my voices and feel like theyre my friends, but only some of them are friendly
@Blizzard I have dealt with the voices for about 8 years not a long time in some people’s standards
@mboston117 only one of the voices I hear is friendly and that is beliel he’s a gargoyle (long story)
When Seraton (my companion angel) leaves, I actually grieve as if a close friend has died. So far he always comes back, but he’s been very quiet for months now. He’s still there, I can still feel him, but he hardly says anything…I’m comforted by his being there, but surprisingly more calm since he’s been so quiet.
I really don’t want Seraton to ever completely leave. I totally understand how you feet, @cbbrown. It reminds me, though, of counseling I went through after leaving my abusive ex-husband. You might research a bit about “Stockholm Syndrome”.
There’s a secondary recovery when voices leave. No matter how abusive, they’re ours and we’re never alone. But, in the long run, we can be happy without their abuse… 
I took a med one time that made my head so quiet I couldn’t cope with anything. Mixed in with the mean man in a blue circle, the young girl in the pink bubble who speaks to me psychically, summer tera, winter tera, guest appearances, outside voices and a whole bunch of toddlers - there is a me. I need to hear at least ME. There is such a thing as too quiet, or how else would I know what to do or say?
