The thing with meds is that it's trial and error until you find the one for you, and then you've got to get to the right dose for you, so it does take time. I had to come off of risperidone because of the side effects at a really small dose. My 2nd med thankfully is working for me - abilify/aripiprazole - but I had to get to 10mg and wait 4 weeks before the voices went away, so it doesn't always happen straight away. (I have psychotic depression by the way.)

All the best with finding both a med and a Pdoc that helps.
