My answer would be yes and no. It entirely depends on what antipsychotic you're taking because everyone reacts to these drugs differently, and how high of a dose of said antipsychotic you're taking, and for how long you've been taking it. Risperdal totally screwed me up while I was taking it and it didn't give me any sort of relief, thankfully I wasn't on it for too long but I would not recommend that antipsychotic to anyone for a lot of reasons. There are better medications out there these days. Though take what I am saying with a grain of salt as I am not a doctor and I was on a VERY high dose of that drug.
