I randomly get sleepy sometimes, and start hearing muffled voices in my head, initially I researched about it and thought it was narcolepsy. So I consulted a doctor and got medicines. But it backfired, as it triggered my other mental health problems(OCD diagnosis). Last evening I realised this sleeping problem is getting out of hand when I was getting sleepy in a moving auto(shared by 5). I experience weird eye movements as if a reflex to not to sleep. My professional life is also getting affected. And sometimes I also happen to see some shadow figures during an episode, but my rational mind is very strong so I just know the difference and the voices won't leave me at all during the episode. If I dream about something, I go like "no there was something, something's wrong, or maybe I am an imposter of myself". Kindly guide me.

Hypnagogic hallucinations are vivid, dream-like experiences including voices not heard by others, that occur when falling asleep and are a common symptom of narcolepsy, so i doubt if you have OCD. It's in your best interest if you consult another psychiatrist in person, preferably at a teaching hospital or medical college. There is high probability of you getting better if you diagnosis of Narcolepsy is confirmed.
