A member asked:

Antipsychotics make me feel crippled, will this go away once done with treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Antipsychotic : These medications can have some unique neurological side effects but you cannot stop them abruptly. Usually a change of the med or addition of another can minimize side effects. Speak to your doctor.
