I've been wondering this for quite awhile, I am diagnosed with psychosis. Is it possible for medication to completely remove hallucinations? I am on a anti-psychotic but still experience hallucinations, I thought it was supposed to get rid of it?

I've found that they lessen them. Or make them more tolerable.

For me, Abilify is the best antipsychotic medication but for most it doesn't work this well.

I think for some people medication gets rid of the voices completely, but for others it just makes them less intense
I still hear voices and I'm on two antipsychotics |

APs always took away all my paranoia & delusions, but never the voices. They got a lot quieter to the point they weren't an issue though.
It really differs from person to person... some people are the exact opposite whilst a lucky few get no symptoms.

I'm one of the lucky ones. I have been able to reduce my Risperidone to 3mg, and I very seldom hear voices now. The delusions are still around, but I'm clear enough to be rational about it and behave appropriately. I still keep to myself and avoid getting wound up as part of managing my symptoms. I have had only 3 minor episodes lasting a few weeks each since lowering the Risperidone nearly a year ago. My pdoc seems happy with the balance, but doesn't want to reduce the dose any further.
