I'm not too sure i can really help you. Maybe with some time though the symptoms will die down a bit for you. Go see a doctor and see what they can suggest something for you.

Take it easy okay. You know it will pass. you know it's not real..

Oh boy. Many over the counter medications can have adverse effects with medications you are taking. Some meds will work in the exact opposite way they are intended to work. I think this may be the case for you with the sleep-eze. I strongly suggest you contact your doctor and report this episode. It does sound like you may be going into an episode. Perhaps a medication adjustment is needed to quell the symptoms.
Hearing voices is an indication of some psychosis and needs to be addressed by your doctor. I hope you will contact your doctor and get some help. Don't let this go as the episode is likely to progress. Keep us updated!
