whats wrong with me

I have been having a lot of problems and I have been to see a doctor I wasn’t in a great frame of mind and its only been a week since I started my meds which are 10mg of zalasta and I take one anti depressant , I had told the doctor I have been hearing voices- people calling my name out and also thoughts of harm , I find it hard keeping still and get anxiety , I also think strange things example - like when I go to eat an orange I feel some one might have injected poison in to it , I go to see the doctor again in about a weeks time but I would now like to know what is wrong with me for me to need to take this medication . Any ideas of what could be wrong with .

We cant ´make a diagnosis, but we can try to give you some support. You sound like you are going through a lot. how old are you? has life been giving you a lot of stress?

Thank you for your reply ! am 35 and I do get a lot of stress I get stressed just about anything even silly things but at the time they are a big deal, Often feel like I am being watched when i leave the house and followed and in danger of people , I had only been taking the meds for a few days and my girl friend pointed out the side effects and I started to think a lot about what if I get them and now I have stopped taking them, when I went to see the doctor he asked me how I would feel if I went in to hospital but I said I would not like that, I am scared if he will find out I have stopped them and admit me but I am really scared of side effects and the more dangerous side effects .

" There are conflicting theories from psychiatrists, psychologists and voice hearers about why people do hear voices . We believe that they are similar to dreams, symbols of our unconscious minds. Although the Network is open to many diverse opinions we accept the explanation of each individual voice hearer.Traditionally, the usual treatment for voice hearing has been major tranquillisers, administered to reduce the delusions and hallucinations. However not everyone responds to this treatment. There are some psychiatrists and psychologists who now work with people who hear voices using talking therapies and exploring the meaning of the voices."

ive been bipolar for 15 years now. the one thing i can tell you is its not a good idea to decide to stop you meds untill after a month.
and yeah, the side effects are real bad, some times. but the newer meds are getting better.
i deal with paranoia and i have imangary friends, (just one), but the key here is to remember your brain is a little broken, so you may not be seeing thing quite right.
what helped me is some friends who i could ask if things were real or not.

just my .02

BTW, do you work you, or go to a gym? it might help with the voices to get some excersize.
you can do this. you can find a way to make things better. just take it one day at a time.

I go back the doctor this wendsday so I decided to stop my meds I have been having a problem one is I am worried about the side effects to the point I am starting to get really stressed out about it, one part of me is telling me to take them and the other is telling me not to, I have also become really obsessive about something bad happening to me from the medication . I also want to know what is wrong with me cuz they would have to be a dam good reason for me to have to take them meds. I have had Social Phobia for years and I have paranoia sometimes I feel I am still in control and I try to handle it the best way I can but when you think people are following you and trying to get in to your mind its not easy to deal with , Hence why I don’t go out much , I think sometimes I get depressed I think I could be depressed now but I don’t see that I am but people around me noticed a change in me. If I look back at my life I feel like I have not been honest to doctors I have always tried to hide my paranoia thoughts and the voices in my head I felt like I just couldn’t open up and tell them , Well now I am more able to talk and I feel like my problems are getting worse over the years, I think when you become desperate you talk now I have had voices out of my head and I self harm but I am hoping they will go away and I can have a normal life soon .
