Do Chlorpromazine And Olanzapine Cause Slurred Speech And Fatigue?

My grandson has been taking chlorpromazine with olanzapine. Every night to go to sleep. He has been taking this about 2 months. It was given to him in jail. Tonight when I asked him to help me with dinner he came out of his bedroom and shuffled over, couldn t be understood when he talked, barely could make it back to bed, was completely out of it. Could it be from these drugs? His count of pills is correct and he hasn t taken any since last night. Thank-you.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

He might have overdosed the drugs, routine doses does not cause these symptoms.

If symptoms persist you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
