I have heard several voices... but not in a while...Till last night... I am slowly taking myself off of seroquel 300mg and of corse, only me I went
and lost my cymbalta somewhere in the house. I think someone stole it but~ oh well if they need cymbalta that bad they can keep it. I did finally get the new refill after almost 2 weeks without my 90mg. So, I relize this episode of hearing a voice last night was brought on partly I'm sure due to the medicines but..... Is it common for bi~polars to hear voices or is it because of one of my other syndromes they have labeled me as???????
Today, I was writing a letter to a sick friend to insert in her Christmas Card. I was pretty deep in thought with it. At the same time.. The tv was blaring and my husband was walking back to sit down on the couch when~~~ he went and stubbed his toe on the coffee table.. OUCH!!(twice in the same hour by the way) Well, Mark, is a little silly and loves to get into character.. So he dropped to the floor between the couch and coffee table with that "awful stubbed toe pain expression" then he paused and then stuck out his tongue like he just died. It was a comical thing really, that I am used too. So after he finally "died" I asked him in a matter of fact way... ~~~"Hey, you gonna make it?" meaning survive..lol but almost instantly... I heard a second voice, a lady, teacher like, say...worriedful.."Are you alright?" I looked up to see the tv and it was "boxing". (no woman on there) I thought for sure it was the tv. I instantly asked mark if he heard the woman on tv ask that~~ right after I had asked if he was going to make it??? He said no..Just boxing and my voice.. He was with me one other time when I heard that same (SAME) voice almost a year ago now, say in my head... "And, How did that work out for you?"
The discussion.... ????
Is voices normal for bi~polar patients or is this a symptom of something else...???
What are the top illnesses or syndromes or disorders that have that symptom of "VOICES"
Just curious as to which one of mine is causeing this?

I don't feel well. Like--physically. Ive been dealing with nearly constant nausea for the last...month (I think?).I know my transplant medications can cause nausea, but its never been this bad before. The other day I had toast for breakfast, thinking that wouldn't upset my stomach and was still naseous afterwards. Ive been trying to ignore it, or deal with it with gum or mints. But that isn't...
Bipolar mania, in particular, can reach psychotic proportions, of which auditory (hearing rather than seeing) hallucinations are possible.
I was told by my doc that hearing voices can be a part of the bi-polar.
My other doc said that excess dopamine in the brain can cause hallucinations.
anti-depressants add dopamine to our brain which is why we have to take a mood stablizer with them.
I was also told that coming off some meds too fast can cause it
But I really doubt that you need to look any further than the BP and/or the meds.
I hear voices once in a while and it's pretty much as you describe. It's usually the 'same' voice and what is said is usually on the order of what you hear, too!! A general query or comment on how things are going.
I really thought that I heard the voice just as if it were any other kind of 'real noise' in the room -- until something happened to make me change my mind.
When I hear voices, it startles me. But when I bought and installed a printer/copier without knowing that it 'talked' and it kicked on saying, "Printer is ready", I nearly jumped out of my fucking skin!!!! LOLOL!!!! So there IS some sort of difference for me, with 'my' voices.
I'm just grateful that I don't hear voices telling me nasty things or that I'm completely unable to differentiate from all the 'real' noises.
Good luck!! I hope that once you get your meds straightened around, the voice goes away.
By the way, your husband sounds like fun!!! LOL!!!!
