It usually goes away quickly upon stopping the antipsychotic, providing you stop it in reasonable time. Id forget about it. Ive had the other kind, where I had EPS symptoms on the antipsychotic I ignored or was ignorant about, then it hit me hard AFTER I went off the drug and still have residual problems.
I swear I think atypical anti-psychotics should be OUTLAWED and made illegal for anything other than the classic psychotic disorders like schizophrenia, some manic depressives also seem to need them. For regular depression, even severe, FORGET ABOUT THEM!!!
