I want to know what can happen to the brain if there is neurological/brain damage done to it, specifically when taking antipsychotics?
i was taking risperdal and epival when i decided to stop it cold turkey (bad idea!) and i suddenly noticed my sleep was shot, my memory was distorted, and it felt like my brain was working slower as if my i.q. level had gone down. i quickly went back on the meds fearing that this may get worse, but now i'm thinking of slowly getting off of them as these symptoms are persisting and worsening.
can any doctor shed some light on this matter?
thanks,
Azmatic
