A member asked:
Does fasting on antipsychotics inhibit there ability to work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
some yes, not yours: But long-term starvation would. If you are fasting for religious purposes, then it is fine .If you have anorexia, please do not use this information as permission to abstain from eating. Some antipsychotics require food for absorption, but Haldol (haloperidol) and seroquel which you are taking do not.Best wishes.
