I do. That's because the meds aren't working.

some ppl dont complytly get better meds are just there to help really and make u abel to cope

Medications don't always make them go away completely and can cause hallucinations to get worse in some cases.

ok thanks for the comments

My daughter still has both auditory and visual hallucinations with meds. As her doctor tells us....I can turn down the volume, but I may never be able to make them go away completely...She is certainly better with meds than without, but 'they' her voices, are still present. Sadly, me to me anyway, she told me and her doctor recently that she didn't want them to all go away, ...'because I like them'....all her voices and not nice, but I think the ones that are have somewhat become her friends.

still have them, just not as regularily or as intensely

After meds it quieted down considerably..but not silent..its as though they're always listening and some are still able to speak at will..but I have to say I appreciate the silence when I have it and have a "too good to be true" feeling about the new quiet I've had since late Spring.

By the way..I take Invega..I'm supposed to be taking Seroquel but I can't stop sleeping when I take it..so I quietly stopped without telling the psych..which I don't see often . I see the counsellor more often
