can you admit yourself for a 72 hour psych evaluation?
I've had doctors in the past, some psychiatrists and regular doctors, and they've prescribed me with medication to: get rid of the voices i hear and the people i see, suicidal thoughts, bulimia, and my depression. I'm not schizophrenic, they already checked for that. I've started hearing things again, my parents think i'm being dramatic but i usually under exaggerate things... i was wondering if i would be able to admit myself for an evaluation.

Yes. It's called a voluntary hold. Make sure you give them a serious enough reason. I suggest you contact the doctor who is prescribing your current mrdications. That doctor needs to be kept in the loop that the meds are not working. The dr. cannot correct things without knowing whats wrong. Good luck.
