how to stop talking in head

i think it is the symptoms of schizophrenia i talk continuously all the daytime in the head.how to stop it.

hi , have you seen a dr about this ? ...they can help by giving medication
also if you listen to music with head phones on it can help
i find it helps me some times...

they gave me espazine and depran which have very severe side effects i stopped taking both. now i only indulge myself in productive activities like programming,reading. If i Listen music i tend to repeat the words.

I think I needed to find my own way of dealing with a life in me that sees me and everything from an objective and detached perspective. I had advice, meds, hugs, prayers, incantations supportive groups of like minded folk and some, not much, family support. I had govt. money sent, that helped ease my stess and govt. insurance helps releive stress also. I needed to suffer. The "life" mentioned above saw, and sees, me as a natural resource to be harvested or processed into a revenue producing cog in a larger natural resource harvesting, and processing entity on earth these days. I'm just being honest. I'm not trying to be scary. I apologize if I scare posters here. Thanks.

try some other kind of medication talk to your dr about the side effects he may give you something else

prozac stopped my voices, it did for someone else here too. I never got a sz dx. imo, people are such terrible communicators, giving and receiving, we THINK we understand, but we can barely describe what is going on with ourselves, then to understand what another person is selectively saying about themselves? anyway for the other person here it was DID, not sz. hey, voices is voices, right?

ugh F*** i clicked the wrong thing!
I DONT BELIEVE IN MEDICATION FOR MOST PEOPLE!
GIVE UP PSYCHIATRISTS! THAT COME ON LOOK IS IN THEIR EYES!
THIS WHOLE SYSTEM IS GOING DOWN IN HELL!

Sometimes I wonder the same thing Newtus. There must be a consequence for lieing and poisening people, and then profiting of the "treatment." but i'm crazy.

Do you mean talking in your own voice in your head; you want to stop doing that? So as to no longer hear your thoughts as words but just think?

I think it is very difficult for anyone to do for more than a few minutes but with advanced levels in yoga / qi gong /etc. mindfulness it has to be possible, and for most normal people would be beneficial.
To properly "speed read" you have to stop hearing the words you are reading; just see the sentences on the page and perceive their meaning visually without the extra step of translating it into imagined sounds. Lots of people have taught themselves how to do that, give it a try first and then see if you can shut off your inner monologue the same way.

I have a lot of dialoge in my head... The difference is who's dialoge is it?

If it is only mine then I am considered to be doing good (normal)
as the medical profession see it.

If It is someone else's dialoge going on in my head then I am suffering the symptoms of my illness.

And then there are the outside dialoges (those I hear but no one eles does) This is my illness in full force as they would say.

But I know that it is not my mind but the world and the evil in it that is entraping me where I do not long to sojourne.

It is determined by the medical profession as to how to treat these things...Not me, becasue I am not of sound mind to make such determinations. This is what I am told.

So I encounter oposition becasue of my choice to not be medicated for these things.

It is only when I becaome a danger to my self because of the evil one, that I surcume to their wishes and take the drugs in which they say will benifit me. But I then become their droid.

So with what strength I can gather I retreat to the one who truly gives me peace from this vielness that fills me. And I do find the peace that I desire. Knowing that it is He who has brought me back to my sanity in Him. For the world sees me as a fool, as insain, being out of my mind, but I know that I would rather be insain in Him then sain in this world.

I meditate for that. Works like a miracle cure from Jesus.

I have other people that live inside me so those are the voices i hear. Sometimes we even fight. Most of them i like though. One
scares me. Im willing to try medicine but im afraid to lose pieces of myself if the voices stop. I already take medicine, so i would just change it.

One of my best friends often complains of continuous thoughts playing like a tape over and over like conversations and stuff, and she has schizoaffective disorder.

Voices were difficult for me to cope with, after being diagnosed. I had to accept that my mind was performing an unhealthy function, according to my interpretation of my psychiatrists words and actions. Still, I think personal thoughts. Thoughts that are of me, and only accessable by me, unless I decide to share them with others.

Psychiatrists and psychologists have legal issues to deal with these days. Being sued for malpractice is a real concern for them. I believe they need to, for very practical reasons, err on the side of caution, in regards to diagnosing and treating mental unhealth symptoms. I've learned that this area of medicine is very much a business, and the consumer should beware and be informed. We need to trust, but not blindly.

It is a difficult maze. Similar to the mazes lab rats need to navigate, I believe. I believe people do become lost in it. This seems sad to me.

I like to think, "I'm me. I've been me for a long time. If I'm not mentally healthy, it is because that has been decided for me, without my honest input being considered. It is hard for me to label the child of my personal memories, me, as having this malady. I would never do to a child, what this world has done to me. At some point, I became less than others. This is a wrong belief, by myself and others. I need to stop encouraging myself and others to accept this belief as true. It is false. God does not make junk, humans do."-me

I've wondered about that. Seems like all doctors are in that position. If they stick their neck out and take a bit of a risk, they're liable to be sued for not following the standard of care. It's kind of sad to me that the standard of care doesn't seem to adequately balance the potential risk from the treatment against the potential risk from foregoing the treatment.

I totally agree.

Sad indeed! Quite bizarre, actually. (edit) Actually my latest pdoc seemed quite aware that certain meds and hospital experiences could be quite traumatising. Her concern was that when the word "suicide" was mentioned, her risk of landing up in court was far greater if I killed myself than if I became a cabbage from over zealous drug therapy.
