A member asked:
What is the leading medication for auditory hallucinations for people with schizophrenia?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Everyone is unique: Some respond & tolerate one drug better than another. I like Clozapine but it requires frequent blood tests & has some side effects that some pts find hard to tolerate.

Different ones: Antipsychotic medications are used to treat the hallucinations associated with schizophrenia. There are 20 different ones. Treatment for schizophrenia is best provided by a board certified psychiatrist. Antipsychotic medications require careful monitoring, especially as schizophrenia is a chronic condition. I like Invega sustenna (paliperidone palmitate) which is an injection that lasts one month.
