Parkinson is caused by low dopamine and antipsychotics cause low dopamine by blocking it.

Stiff muscles mainly in the jaw but in my other thread it might be caused by antipsychotics or TMJ dysfunction.

I rememeber I had parkinsonism when I had the first episode of psychosis before taking ap. Today I found that Spontaneous Parkinsonism Is Associated With Cognitive Impairment. I don’t think I have a cognitive impairment. My memory is very bad.

Im always put on artane at hospitals and quit. Two main side effects bother me: heavily blurred vision and decrease in cognition. Also dry mouth is really prevelant.

Some people feel fine on antichistamines, you should try it out, to some it even gives mild euphoria
