A member asked:
Does stopping anti-psychotic medications reverse antipsychotic-induced diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: There is not a lot known. It may reverse if you lose weight and follow a healthy diet. However, it may be permanent. It is a good idea to have your blood sugar monitored while on an antipsychotic so that any changes can be addressed quickly.
