Do psychiatric drugs affect speech? i can't find the words stuttering and developing a lisp. all after years in psych meds. didn't have these before
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Psychoactive medicat: Medications used for control & treatment of mental illnesses vary and as such their side effect profile will vary. Difficulty retrieving words and stuttering refer to the nervous system. If these symptoms started after using psychoactive medications, it is better to return to the prescribing physician or consult a psychiatrist or neurologist in HealthTap for guidance & mgt.
