Hi, I also am schizoaffective. I had to deal with my auditory communications for years before I found a medication that stopped them. I used to always think someone was knocking on the door or a phone ringing. When it comes to voices I hear mainly one, her name is Alex. She was relentless and is part of the reason I have tried to commit suicide 4 times. She was constantly telling me I would never get better, things would only get worse, and I should end it now. Then I found Abilify after three years of tring different combinations if medications. Low and behold after about two months she stopped and as long as I take my medicine, she stays gone. I still hear the occasional knock on the door or sometimes it sounds like someone is calling my name but for the most part its good. I have come to accept that I will probably have to take medication forever but its worth it to be voice free. I hope you like it here and feel free to ask me anything about it. I would be happy to talk with you.
