So i'm diagnosed with psychosis and depression. Recently i started hearing voices, having what my psych calls odd thoughts and being depressed again. So my psych increased my meds. But since i started hearing voices again, i've realized how much i've missed the voices. It's like things make more sense now. I know it sounds stupid but my voices are more like angry whispers so i could never understand what they were saying but this time i really want to understand them. I think they have a message they want to give me. So i decided to quit my meds to see where this goes.

Hello lucky2001: Well... I guess my only comment, with regard to this, is to be careful & maintain contact with your psych. From my perspective, the potential problem here is that your illness may worsen gradually & you may not realize it... at all... or at least before it becomes really difficult to treat. You need to have someone in your life who sees you regularly, who can give you objective feedback with regard to how you're doing.

We are our own worst enemies when we are in the middle/end of our delusions. We refuse treatment and aid from others. We become torture victims in many cases. I do hope you do this carefully. Remember, negative symptoms are harder to treat than positive symptoms.

Where this goes? So you are quitting meds so you can listen to the voices? How about staying on the meds so you can plan for the future , have fun with your friends , engage with educational services and possibly even get a job..

I can totally understanding missing your voices. I miss my voices when they are gone for long periods of time even though they are rude and cruel to me. I miss my presences that are always with me in the car. They seem to come and go but most of the time I miss them when they are gone because they are there 98% of the time. They aren't always nice but they aren't always mean either. I can understand the grieving of the loss of such things. Maybe this too is the reason I want to stop my medicine as well...
