You need to keep taking the meds for a few weeks for the tiredness to wear off. After 4 years I can take a similar med at a high dosage with no sedation. Also it helps to take the meds at bedtime.
Do you have schizophrenia or a different diagnosis? If you have schizophrenia you will likely need to take the meds for a really long time to prevent relapses. Do you have other symptoms besides hearing voices?
I hear voices when unwell, too, and take Geodon and Seroquel for that. They work extremely well on my voices. I recommend that you give the drugs a good trial of several weeks. For most people with schizophrenia these kinds of drugs work pretty well (I think 70% are helped a lot). Good luck.
