A member asked:

Are antipsychotics, klonopin, (clonazepam) antidepressants designed to make you weaker or incapsitate you? does one ever gain their strength back? feel like gumbo?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your Dr: I'd advise you work with a psychiatrist if you haven't, to make sure you aren't over medicated. If you are working with a dr and still aren't getting anywhere, seek a second opinion.
