I just met with my psychiatrist today and she prescribed 1 mg of benztropine to combat slow movements, slow speech, and sluggishness. I also have no energy and brain fog. I haven’t taken my Invega injection for over a month, with doctor supervision. I take 10mg Fluoxetine, 15 mg of Adderall which was lowered to 10 mg last week, and smoke medical marijuana. 

I ran out of Fluoxetine last week but am reconsidering resuming as it may be causing my symptoms. My psychiatrist said withdrawals could be causing these symptoms, but I’ve been experiencing this sluggishness since before I started the medication I believe. I mentioned my psychosis, and I think she suggested Abilify for it, but I think we decided to wait on taking that. I can’t remember though, and memory loss has also been a part of my symptoms. Is there anything else that I can suggest to combat psychosis without the weight gain.

What could be the cause of no energy, slow movements, and brain fog ? What actions or medications can boost my energy and return my functionality back to normal ?

Starting cogentin (benztropine) to reduce sluggishness, and I want to quit Prozac 

I’m experiencing symptoms after a 6 month psychotic episode with remnants of it for an additional 5 months. It was said to have included mania. They include the constant clenching and grinding of teeth, dull and foggy mind, little thought, and no energy. I’m chronically fatigued and my movements have slowed down as well as my speech. I just lie around all day and I really need help with getting up and moving myself around.


I was only diagnosed with bipolar after being hospitalized for psychosis. It didn’t specify if it was 1 or 2.
