Hi, I recently was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and I take risperdal and prozac. About a week ago I stopped taking the risperdal becuase I realised it was stopping me from getting manic .. And theonly time I get university work done is when im manic. After I stopped I had a high for about 2 days and got loads of work done but now ive been really depressed and not eating or going out.
Well last night something really strange happened that has never happened before. I was laid in bed trying to get to sleep .. Maybe I was asleep and dreaming .. Or maybe I was half asleep...The next thing I could hear all these voices talking .. People talking to one another about things that made no sense. I tried to make out what they were going on about but it was all too random. I jumped up and it stopped. Was I dreaming ? Or having some kind of hallucination.

You need to know that,bi-polar is related to schizophrania. Get help, tell someone in the medical field. I had my biggest breakdown when I was hearing voices...All mine ever said was my name, but I still think I hear music at night.
Are you under a certain amount of stress?? That may have something to do with it. Does you Dr. Know you stopped you meds? Tell them, dont go it alone, they can try a different one or a lower dose.
Dont be to hard on yourself and dont be such a hardass that you think you dont need help, it can and will get better...

voices?
My partner says that he hears voices and is only self diagnosed with bipolar. Is there the possibility that he may have schizophrenia rather than bipolar? He is currently on no form of medication for any of this.
