Not that I'm aware of---does you doc know about the voices? Typically they'll prescribe an atypical antipsychotic like risperidone, seroquel, abilify, latuda etc because they can help stabilize mood as well as block voices...

I don't know what intuitive is but if its for ADD it might increase dopamine and actually trigger voices---wellbutrin use can also trigger voices so if you were using these meds before you started hearing voices they may have started it in the first place...

But yeah---best option for voices is if you can function without stimulants get off of those and try an anti-psychotic although some docs will quite commonly give you an antipsychotic with a stimulant ...you'll have to talk to your doc to find out what is best for your case.
