Brief Answer:
For three days Risperidone or Clonazepam can help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, thanks for asking from HealthcareMagic.
I can understand your concern.
Treatment in schizophrenia should be taken regularly in order to remain symptoms free and function normally.
Now your sleep is disturbed and hearing the voices again. I'd advise you to visit a doctor, if possible, and start tablet Risperidone 2 mg at night after dinner. This will help to control symptoms and will aid in sound sleep. If you are not able to purchase Risperidone then you can try for Clonazepam or Lorazepam. These drugs will give you sound sleep and you will feel better.
Thanks and Take care.
You are most welcome to ask follow-up doubts.
Regards
