Is it right to shut out the voices with medication if they are benign?
Somehow I don't think so. My voices work for my mutual advancement and
beneficial acceleration into a better understanding of the world
around me.

Or is this delusional?

Sounds like its just your conscience, I certainly wouldn't call it
delusional.

I'm still taking my medication. Although in such a state of high alert
aka stress. Voices and strange feelings of otherworldlyness are
breaking through. I will be seeing my Pdoc in two weeks. In the mean
time I have a prescription of Amitriptyline, Sulpiride and Diazepam to
collect today.

The Diazepam normally helps take the edge off of everything.

I don't know if it's delusional, but voices without a source would certainly
make me wary. I would think a key question is whether you find practical
benefits from what you hear.

- If your life improves noticeably from what you hear, then perhaps there is
some value.
- If it stays the same, then I see no value, only meaningless distraction.
- If your life gets worse, then clearly they are not desirable.

What do you think?
