I'm a big fan of meds for the right people and in ideally low doses. However if I only had rare hallucinations and no delusions I wouldn't take them. Look into the hearing voices movement ....there is a whole spectrum of voice hearing/hallucination and some people can handle voices quite comfortably. However depending on age i.e. teens, low doses of antipsychotics have been shown to help people stop from developing full blown schizophrenia. It's a tricky issue and I'd urge you to get a second medical opinion ideally from someone more familiar with modern thinking on this, usually at a teaching hospital.
