I wouldn't take any antipsychotic med if the voice does not make you sick or make you disfunctional. It might make you upset or wake you up occasionally but at least it does not cause you permanent damage as some meds to cure it do.
From my experience, if it is not serious and you can live with it, I would never never take medication. Because the risk from medication is a hundred times worse than the symptom. I am talking about chronic insomnia and terrible withdrawal symdromes and site effects including permanent site effects such as irreversible tardive diskinesia in some cases.
Read psycho babble for a real good explanation of the different types of hearing voices condition. It could be subvocalization. It could be misinterpretation of external noise. It could be a condition associated with hypnic jerk or sleep start. I could also be a feature of schizophrenia.
Here is what I think might work without medication: have a good, healthy, and happy lifestyle and have sufficient nutrition might deffinitely reduce the symptoms.
