What Causes Auditory Hallucinations Along With Suicidal Thoughts?

You can't be forced to take medicines
Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM
I can understand your concern, a lot of individuals find it difficult to swallow pills and this result in development of fear and reluctance to take medicine. You took tablets consistently but stopped them 6 weeks back and this has resulted in development of symptoms again like hearing distressing voices, feeling suicidal etc. A lot of medicines used in mental disorders have side effects which also result in avoidance to medicines. But they are necessary for maintainence of proper mental functioning so you should reassure yourself to take the medicines again.
As you have mentioned that you gag while taking pills in such case medicines which are available in liquid form or in long acting injectable form can be used. Aripiprazole is used as antipsychotic and mood stabiliser so we can use other drug with similar action for your symptoms. Risperidone is a drug that is available in liquid form which is tasteless. You can take the drug by mixing with food or water also.
Fluphenazin, Haloperidol etc are available in long acting injectable form can also be tried. These medicines are better tolerated and are free of serious side effects. You can tell your psychiatrist about the problem you are having while taking medicines and then can discuss for the drugs I have mentioned. These drugs are better tolerated and would not cause much side effects.
They can't force you to take drugs.
Thanks, hope this helps you, if you have more doubts ask again.
