I've been hearing them for a number of years now. Antipsychotic medications due make them less intense but I still hear them all the same. I have learned to put up with it as just another positive symptom of my schizophrenia, but is there a way to be free of them, if not permanently, then for a more lengthy period of time? I have written blogs about what they have said as a way of making them more visual to the world.
Its funny seeing how people who do not hear voices cope when suddenly they are confronted with it. I went to a mental health conference last year where people had to listen to pre-recorded "voices" on an mp3 player and perform tasks while listening to the voices. Most people could not concentrate and were deeply disturbed and uncomfortable. It was like "welcome to my world folks!" for me.
I am currently seeing a psychologist to help me deal with hearing voices but of course this does not eliminate the problem. I have been on so many different antipsychotics that I wonder if I will ever find the right one for me (I've been on largactil, neulactil, zyprexa, risperidone, stelazine and now seroquel).
Has anyone got any suggestions??
