 My husband often complains that he feels like there are voices screaming in his head. Sometimes loud and sometimes like background noise, always constant. Sometimes he hears sirens? Anyone else? Comments? His meds do not help take this away.

 Yes, I know what this is like... my voices would mumble at the beginning, getting louder and louder until they would scream (multiple voices and I don't know what they are saying). Once they would start screaming, they start the whole process over again with the mumbling. I makes you feel like you are going insans it becomes so annoying. I had to get on the anti-psychotic to make it go away... it took my four of these drugs to find the right one....

It absolutely sucks to have psychotic features onto of Bipolar.

 I take 300mg of Lamictal, 15mg of Abilify, and Lunesta 3mg at night for sleep.

It was the Abilify that made the voices go away.... but to be honest, I am still not totally stable with mood swings even on all of this medication. But the voices are gone!

 I just wanted to say I understand too. My husband is bipolar and we are working to get things stabalized. I thing we have been in denail for a while. But he hears voices also. He said he has heard them for years, but never said anything to anyone about them. He said it is a mumble, like the voices are talking about him, but he can never understand what they are saying. He said it feels like they are always there, but sometimes worse then ever. Just recenlty, withing the past few weeks, he has started hearing a dog bark??? He has also seen things...like spots on the ceiling that aren't there. We are just starting to work with doctors and counselors. He has been taking Celexa, and the doctors have put him on Depakote and Seroquel. Any advice on whether we should mention a anti-psychotic to the doctors???

 Yes,

I heard mumbling for years. Never could tell what was being said. I used to humm all the time to drown it out. My doctor put me on quitiapine (funny name) and the mumbling has stopped.

I hope this helps

 Absolutely. Anti-psychotic is the way to go! Mood stablizers is one component to Bipolar, but for voices you are going to need the anti-psychotic.

Just make sure he is honest with the doctor about what he hears and sees. I did not tell anyone during my childhood and even into my twenties! I wish I had now, because life is so much better now.

Let me know if I can help you in any other way!
