i have been inactive for months now and it’s been a bumpy road since then. i was re diagnosed a while back which was extremely helpful for me because i finally have an understanding of what my condition is. all of my medications were switched and that was a very difficult transition but i happened to be in the hospital during the change so i had the support i needed. i was okay for awhile, still having episodes but they were easier to manage. recently however i’ve been hearing voices when i’m having an episode. i’m not sure if i’ve always had them and never noticed or they are a new symptom; either way they are terrifying. i’ve never been so dissacioated and lost for an explanation. the voices are more screaming of words and sentences that i can’t make out. i do know that whatever they’re saying or yelling is not good. i am scared that i have another illness now or that my current state is getting worse. can anyone relate or help me figure this out?

hi, I don't get voices but I can tell you some medications that are specifically designed to prevent this can actually cause them in rare cases.

So I think you need to talk to a doctor.

I did see some videos on the BBC about what to do if you hear voices but I suspect they are only available to play in the UK - I'll see if I can find them

I agree that you should talk with your doctor sweetie.... It reads to me that you need a med tweak.... Big hug.....xo

I'm in agreement with fish and SunCloud. I think you should call your Dr. asap and see what he/she can do to help you. I used to hear voices a little bit and I was put on an antipsychotic and they went away. Whether that would help you or not is up to your Dr. Good luck.

I have been though some similar experiences med change and hospitals visits once you get a good combination of meds it can really be a game changer

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
