Antipsychotics have made me so weak. i lift weights i can't also get stronger still really weak. what can i do is there a reason or solution ?

Seek further eval: Although you mention that antipsychotics have made you weak, you do not list any antipsychotics as part of your medication regimen. You do list Klonopin, (clonazepam) which can cause tiredness. Recommend seeing your doctor for further assessment and to rule out any other underlying causes of weakness. Make sure you are cleared medically before you embark on an exercise regimen such as lifting weights. Best.
