I get the voices thing, too. But only right when I'm about to fall asleep (not dreams, though). It's sort of like walking in crowded street with lots of conversations going on at once. I hear distinct and loud snippets, which actually make no sense, since they're all non-sequitorous. But I somehow don't notice the fact that they make no sense.
I feel like this has only started since I started my current med combo: BuSpar 7.5 mg, Lamictal 25 mg, and Xanax 1-1.25 mg.
Could this be medication-induced? Is it something to be concerned about?
