Suggest Remedy For Auditory Hallucinations

I am a female, who is going throw, a very bad time, this has been going on for four years now, well longer, but i didn't live here with some other things going on, so i thought if I moved else where things would go better for me, but it hasn't, it has seem to get worse, I really like where I live, but I just can't seem to get what ever it is to leave me along, I hear singing all the time, and it sounds like preaching, it will stop for a little while, then start out again, but it's like it knows when I really want to sleep, or just have a little quiteness, the voice sounds like German, some thing i can understand, and others I can't, the singing is going on now, then at times it has a sound like the music is on wholed, but it still got a sound going, then some times, there is a radio going, I have also seen visions, they have woke me up, I just don't understand what is going on, I have talk to my brother, and some other so called friends, they look at me like I have lost my mind, I know what I hear and see, but it is getting to the point I don't know how much more I can take, I have even told my doctor about all this, he sent me to have a MIR, the MIR came back fine,he put me on Quetiapine Fumarate 25 mg, it's doing nothing for me, If their is anything, to help me with this I would appreciate to know what it is, or what I can do to stop thisIt want let me be in peaces, Thank You, so much.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

I have read your query and I can understand your concern. You have complaints of hearing voices and noise and others are not hearing these. These sounds are causing loss of sleep and resulted in shift of place. Even on changing the place the sounds persisted. Most likely these sounds are due to auditory hallucinations. Hallucinations are perception without stimulus and occurs in a number of psychiatric disorders. The MRI came normal. Qutiapine is an antipsychotic drug and it can control the symptoms effectively but as per my opinion the dose of qutiapine is less. I usually prescribe 50-200 mg doses to my patient. If symptoms are persisting consult your psychiatrist again for dose increase if required. Other medicines like Risperidone, Olanzapine are also good antipsychotics and can help you.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
