Do you feel like me that the voices are comforting and reasuring?
And maybe you feel that you are over-medicated?

I have had both of 'em.Just one comforting and the others didn't talk to me,only to each other,or were extra mean.I miss the comforting one pretty much though.

My son reported one evil voice that said horrid things to him and told him to do things he knew where wrong. Another voice told him how good he was and told him not to listen to the other voice. The voices would argue and fight with each other.

He was not over medicated. When his medication dose was increased the voices went away.

He misses the good voice but is relieved to not hear the evil voice.

I don't hear voices other then my inner voice, I have trouble with racing thoughts and they are down on me, always reminding me of my flaws. I constantly remind myself that I am not a very good person.

I keep the TV on all day and night just to keep the inner voice away. I don't want bad thoughts.

I am on Geodone, but diagnosed with Bipolar I.
