Antipsychotics are nasty medications. Here are the list of problems I’ve had:
- Sedation (too tired to function)
- Emotional numbness if I need to increase the dose to stop an episode.
- Headache
- Loss of balance.
- Impaired fine motor control.
- My arms and legs don’t move properly. I’ll command my arm to move, and it only moves
halfway. I used to fall a lot before I learned to be very careful walking.
- Inability to orgasm.
These get pretty bad in the first four hours after taking them. During the day, if I get dehydrated or have low blood sugar, I can easily get incapacitated and be unable to drive.
And no, my dosage isn’t too high. This is the lowest effective dose I can be on. The alternative is lithium, which can be worse.
