> Deneb*sounds like minor parkinsonism, essentially the antipsychotics are most likley to be causing the problem, but then again a lot of the antidepressants have akathisia as a side effect meaning they have anticholinergic effects too. if you can go without your meds then that is the lowest toxicity route, but I have no idea of your mental problems. they say that 80% of people with drug induce parkinsonism improve over the next 2 years after stopping the aps, but that also means 20% have parkinsons for life.
anyway least toxic to most: antidepressants, benadryl due to anticholinergic effect, and antipsychotics win for being the most toxic psych drug available hands down.
