A member asked:
I took anti-psychotic drug for a month and a half. it was only 1 mg.i i stopped the medication.did the drug damage my brain,and will it recover?

Unlikely: antipsychotic meds taken as prescribed in most people have no neurological effect that we are aware of. Taken over years in larger doses there is likelihood of effects. So taken briefly it is unlikely there would be any damage
