Does anyone walk slow since developing schizophrenia

Since developing schizophrenia I walk really slow. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve put on weight or the condition. Anyone else get the same?

Huh. I walk slow but thought it might be weight and arthritis. Have been a lot slower than before my worst psychotic break last year.

No. But I used to walk fast and now walk normal. In highschool my friends couldn’t keep up with me. Now I don’t know I don’t walk with people.

Yesss! I walk slow especially when I’m out of the house.

It could be a combination of the illness, the meds, being over weight and age.

I don’t know.

It’s not only my walking but my general movement.

Yeah I don’t know if it’s my mental illness or being overweight.

I walk slowly. I’m losing weight but am still heavy though

I only walk slow when I’m going thru a depression. When I hear voices or get agitated I pace and walk fast.
