Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i take three different anti psychoticts, plus lithium and an anti depressant. within the past five months ive had problems with balance, coordination and thought process. i have been psych on meds for over twenty years. is it my illness or could i be having adverse effects from to much medication?
Hello, Three antipsychotics are not recommended for any of the illness. Your problem imbalance and loss of coordination are most probably due to the side effects of antipsychotics. These drugs can cause extrapyramidal side effects which include tremors, imbalance, incoordination, numb face etc. Please talk to your treating doctor about this. Thanks.
