What medicines did you try before Abilify, that were to no effect? Did they have you on seroquel,zyprexa,or risperidone?
Yes, only when I tried to sleep. I thought it was a real person, a psychopath stalker. It was horrible. I also could not believe he wasn't real. It still confuses me how it could have been only in my head since I actually have a couple of recordings of him (but a lot of the recordings just have me screaming in an empty room).

Since this started in 2009 I was briefly on Geodon which didn't help (only a few days of it), and then on Abilify this year. I had to take it for three months before it finally started working.

Before this decade, yes I had been on Zyprexa, Risperdal and Seroquel but I didn't have this same set of symptoms then - it was my original problem I had since early childhood. But the Abilify is helping all around. Not completely for the original problem but a little, and a lot for hearing that voice.

By the way, I also hear the person upstairs from my apartment walking and following me from room to room. I just don't really notice it though anymore if that makes sense.

I think what you're going through are delusions unless you could get anyone else to confirm they are hearing the same things you are. Give the med a chance to work. It may take several weeks or even a few months like mine did to start working.
Thanks for this!
