"Voices hearer" here. I've been mostly off antipsychotics for 7 years now (over 30 yo). If antipsychotics did just cut "voices" down I would be happy to take them, but unfortunately most of them have sedation and motivational side effects that are harder to bear than the "voices" themselves, which also I don't like. However, it comes handy to have them at hand during those occasional periods of insomnia, since my health priority is keeping a solid routine in study, sports and sleep pattern.
