Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I can understand the problem you are facing. She is hearing voices and may harm herself or anyone else so be vigilant, keep away things which can harm. You have to understand she have no touch with the reality and so she is avoiding medication once she gets better she will start taking medications. She can be started on long acting injections which are to be given once a month. There are liquid medication preparation available in the market which is colorless, odorless, and tasteless which can be mixed in water or juices easily. Moreover there are various medication available which melts in mouth.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
