My mother’s schizophrenia seems to be controlled by meds but since a while, often when she gets up in the morning, she complains of hearing voices that repeat in her head. It doesn’t look like schizophrenic auditory hallucinations. It’s just one word, sometimes with no sense, repeating in her head and it takes sometimes about 1-2 hours to go away, but it GOES away. She is taking lorazepam 1 mg at night along with antipsychotics. Is that the Lorazepam? The schizophrenia symptom ? Any idea?

Get with the psychiatrist and find out what he/she thinks. Maybe an increase in meds or a different med is necessary. Also, change her routine in the morning to where she awakes to soft music and encourage her to move with it. It may help rewire her brain to stop the reoccurring word in her mind.

It was worse till 2 months ago when the psychiatrist changed her meds. It lowered the occuring of this situation but didn’t stop it. The music is a good idea. I’ll give it a try. Thank you

In my daughter’s case, it took a while for the meds to work completely. At first, she learned to recognise the voices and ignore them. As she gets her life back, going back to uni, etc., the voices disappeared.
