James here....
This is common on anti psychotic meds as they slow thinking it general. Perhaps a dosage change
or a different med would have less of this side effect for you.
In any case you need to bring this up with your doc as it seems to be causing you sig. problems.
You might look thru Dr. Bobs tips site...I belive there is some info on this. I have heard of some having sucess taking a small dose of a stim w/ an anti psychotic but this is tricky depending or your Dx. Would you mind telling us what condition is being treated ?j
