A member asked:

Belly no longer stays taut when relaxed. from sleep deprivation or discontinuation from antipsychotics, antidepressants. is it something deal with now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Taut belly: Most peoples bellies are not tight when relaxed - unless you were incredibly muscular and had minimal body fat, the rest of us humans have soft abdomens when we relax - that is normal - the antipsychotics can cause muscle spasms so it seems like this is an improvement!
