Shortly after I started on antipsychotics, my voice went away. Sometimes I can barely make enough sound to be heard and understood. I feel like I'm straining to talk all of the time.
Has anyone else had this side effect, or is it like my doctor said, just a coincidence? __________________ “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche |

That's how I am when I'm depressed. I also was like that when my jaw was locking up because of celexa.

Sometimes my voice doesn't quite do what I expect it to either, but I never thought to attribute it to my AP like I do with the akathesia and the minor drooling that happens occasionally. Interesting.

That never happened to me when I started taking an antipsychotic, it may be a coincidence like your doctor said. If it dosnt get better soon I would ask about it.

I have had the drooling problem a few times in the past. I went to an ENT,but he couldn't find any problems. He wants me to go to a speech pathologist, but I never seem to be able to make myself go.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
