Hello Dr. David. all my life i have suffer from depression since I can remember. at age 14-15 I used to go to see a Psychiatrist or psycologist because my depression was getting worst and worst . I also suffer from Anxiety attacks and I m having trouble sleeping at night . I also suffer from Sleeping paralysis and im wondering if its part of a mental problem . and Ever since they prescribe me anti-depressent pills i been hearing voices and i am not Schizophrenic or Bipolar. but i do hellucinate and see see things moving around that are not there. i heard a voice of my dad calling me and when i went to check if he was in the house he was no where to be found. and i heard a baby crying . those this mean I might be Schizoprenic ? when i was a little girl I saw my body levitated in the Air?

Hi dear,
Thank you for you query.
There are some antidepressant medication which rarely responsible for auditory hallucination.
First of all give detail regarding your medication and since when you are taking medication.
Also it may be possible that hearing of voices may be individual entity.
So first of all consult your treating doctor and ask about such complain.
if any antidepressant medication is the reason than need to change molecule and if individual entity than need to add anti psychotic medication.
Thank you
